    addressing people as Mr. or Mrs. it still feels weird when those same people insist that I call them by their first name.

    Just remembered this one - I was the coolest kid in high school because I had a tv in my bedroom. It was this big old balck and white thing that someone had given my Dad because it wouldn't sell at their garage sale, and I ran a cable from our living room through the basement and up the duct work into my room, but, by God - I had a tv in my bedroom!!!
