I grew up in the South and was addressed so regularly with a contemptuous hiss and a “Lissen here, Missy” by authority figures, both male and female, to the point where today if someone were to refer to me as “Missy” they’d get a throat-punch, and if it were a nickname or my given name, I’d change it.
The Moms for Liberty make me sad. I really feel sorry for them and the most sorry for their kids.Edited because my original comment was really effin’ mean, and unlike some people, my Mama raised me better.
"There I was, asking an innocent question, and this librarian - who makes $85,000 a year from my tax dollars - refused to answer. And if I were to gun her down, then I'd become the bad guy!" It's just madness, isn't it, Missy?
Now, my sister is a grown woman, who started trying to lose the name at about fourteen, and finally got everyone who had known her all her life to give it up already by the time she was twenty or so, so I agree that an adult should not be calling herself Missy.
My sister and I turned that into a game that no one else could play with us. We each called the other missy so we couldn't have a third player named missy. We talked in high pitched tones and pursed our lips when we played missy.
The minute I that there was an idiot haranguing a librarian, the first echo that came to my mind was "BALZAC!!!!!". So glad you included the video from The Music Man.
There's no way to answer 'correctly'. To these nutjobs any statement can be a confirmation of what they want to hear you say or be twisted to fit their narrative:
'The librarian said it was a nice day outside. Well, I know for a fact that the majority of child sexual abuse cases happen on days with clement weather! So, she's just announcing that they are going to be raping kids today!'
Same is true for a lot of us older Democrats, too.
Sadly, the Good Lord in His Infinite Benevolence and Wisdom saw fit to cause us to be related to persons of unsound mind and even less sound political views.
In compensation, Man invented the email and cellphone block lists.
I found out late in my mom's life (secondhand, when my niece told me how shocked she was when mom told her) that she was pregnant with my oldest brother when she got married. I guess that's how dad decided which of the two sisters he was dating that he was going to marry, eh?

In our house, it was my sister's name, so, no.

I'm also from the south so maybe that's just a southern thing
And yet, there is no bottom to conservatism. They can and will go lower.
I suspect she lied. All conservatives lie.
True, true.

And thus balance was restored to the universe.

So stern but fair?

How many grandkids did Sarah Palin have when her daughters were promoting abstinence? Quite a few if I recall.
