I can't imagine calling my parents or other older relatives by their first
name without a title before it. My nieces and nephews must call me Aunt
Neenee until they reach the age of 21 and thereafter may use my first name.
I firmly feel that having children use a title instills a sense of manners
and courtesy, not to mention respect but that's just how I was raised. I
prefer other children to either address me as Mrs. Johnson or Miss Janine on
the same principle. Those are my thoughts and I was surprised at the
informality in Mayberry too, especially since it was so Southern. I guess
the script writers weren't!
