Yes Sir, Mama!

Lately, we've been working with Little Ted to get him to say "yes sir" or "yes ma'am" when he is asked or (as is more often the case) repeatedly reminded to do something.  He's catching on, for the most part.  It has become his go-to phrase, especially when he has done something he knows he's not supposed to do.

Sometimes, he says the phrase in response to just about any question.  For example, I was feeding him breakfast a couple of days ago, and his yogurt cup was just about empty.  I asked him, "Are you finished?"  He answered, "Yes Sir, Mama!"

I don't so much mind being called sir, so long as it's followed by 'mama' and is said by my little boy.
