A southern lady --- maybe Tennessee or Kentucky --- calls me. Doesn't have any way for me to identify the machine she has, so I spend 10-15 minutes with her, answering some questions (can't remember what we talked about now). She ends the call with, "Thank you so much, baby-doll!" and hung up.
I sat there, stunned. I don't think anyone has ever called me "baby-doll" before!
LOL I am not surprised at all. I know people that just *do* that... I bet you do too.
LOL!
I have a hard enough time with people who call me "dear"...mostly older guys. I think THAT would have stunned me for sure!
