Until you’re not in the south.
People fucking hate that I say ma’am in Colorado. They get all pissed and ask me how old they think they are.
I then have to explain to them it’s a sign of respect back where I grew up.
Also, no one knows what a fucking holler is.
I'm basically 40 and at this point, all men are "boss" and all women are nothing at all.
If I would have said "hello maam" in the past, I now just say "hello". "excuse me miss" became "I'm sorry. yes excuse me"
I was born and raised in Colorado. People there really do hate being called sir or ma'am. I have never understood why. They always bring up age when it is obviously more about being polite and showing respect. The last person who told me she wasn't old enough to be called ma'am was in her mid 30s. I just responded with, "Yes, ma'am."
(Not in the South) I do not mind Ma'am. But I do mind Madam. Sorry, I am not the owner/operator of a brothel!
(I am OK with Madame, if you speak French.)
My mom was upset with me that I don’t continue to say “yes ma’am and sir” now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, versus when we lived in Louisiana. She doesn’t understand that 99% of the time I’d say it out here, the person would say it made them feel uncomfortable/old/just sounds weird/my mom is miss. I can’t seem to get it through to her that she doesn’t sound polite up here, it makes her sound like a servant and that’s how it makes people from the north feel and it’s uncomfortable.
Our dad was an Air Force general and commander of an AF base. Our mom was a sign-waving socialist. It made for lively conversation. I take after my mom.
Nah, little dude is alright. Some kids are just born little smartasses. My older one asked me at lunch if I had a plate of my own and when I said I did she asked me politely to deal with my plate then and not hers. At 19 months old. Because I was instructing her to eat her veggies and not just the meat.
I was teasing my 3-year-old nephew making him laugh, but I guess he suddenly got tired of it because he looked at me and said "Why don't you just go home"
1. Every time this video trends, it tickles me to death that the baby’s name is James spelled backwards.
2. My husband and I do this same bit now while he’s cooking dinner: “SEMAJ.” “Ma’am.”
I have never seen or heard of the cat lawyer video before. It’s freaking amazing and now saved. The eye movement from him on that already anxious looking kitten match perfectly with what he was feeling. Top that with the Texas accent and it’s comedic gold. Thank you for mentioning it.
I also love whenever this classic video shows up on my feed. You already know it’s going to be good when he responds, “Ma’am”.
It was during covid, they were doing a trial on zoom. I guess he couldn't figure out how to take it off, but he had a cat filter on. Google lawyer cat zoom
The helpfulness. The independence. The courtesy. The logic. Aggggghhhh! My 51 yr old ovaries are screaming at me right now to give my 28 year old daughter a sibling.
Talk to your child. Talk to them all the time, don't dumb your vocabulary down, just keep talking and listening. Let them know nothing they say is dumb or pointless.
Your child will grow with you, and you will learn so much from each other.
The hell kind of strategic error is this Mom making? You help that kid learn how to wash dishes. Can you imagine having a kid that loves washing dishes? Fuckin' dream world right there.

‘Ma’am’. 🙂
My favorite part as well 🥰
So polite and cute lol
Until you’re not in the south. People fucking hate that I say ma’am in Colorado. They get all pissed and ask me how old they think they are. I then have to explain to them it’s a sign of respect back where I grew up. Also, no one knows what a fucking holler is.
I know both versions of holler. when you hear one, you go hide in the other... Lol
That’s pretty funny, honestly. We used to smoke weed in them lol
Copperhead Road told me you can plant seeds there.
I had a lady get actually mad at me for saying ma'am and not miss. Sorry, I'll use bitch for you from now on lady
I'm basically 40 and at this point, all men are "boss" and all women are nothing at all. If I would have said "hello maam" in the past, I now just say "hello". "excuse me miss" became "I'm sorry. yes excuse me"
When you started with "all men are "boss" and all women are nothing at all." I thought you were going in a whole different direction.
Runnin the ridge or down tha holler. It’s always yes ma’am, yes sir regardless of age. Preciate cha. Gobbless.
Sorry. Californian here. What's a fucking holler?
Honestly it’s hard to explain. It’s like a depression in the woods. Hillbillies do all sorts of fuckery down in em
Yeah it’s a little hollow in the woods. Hence the name holler. It’s just hollow with an Appalachian accent
I was born and raised in Colorado. People there really do hate being called sir or ma'am. I have never understood why.

Dumb take
No u
Which is why I've replaced ma'am with miss, no matter the age or marriage status
I’m sorry, I’m not mason dixon enough to use “miss” in a real world scenario. What’s next, Annabelle? /s
Lmfao same state but I do it every day with no repercussions. Is that Denver you're talking about?
My mom was upset with me that I don’t continue to say “yes ma’am and sir” now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, versus when we lived in Louisiana.

You got shoes on tho!
He ma'ammed his mom?! 🤣🤣🤣
Mom is the ultimate ma'am
My brother’s first word was “sir.”
Company man, he is.
Our dad was an Air Force general and commander of an AF base. Our mom was a sign-waving socialist. It made for lively conversation. I take after my mom.
Best part for sure.
That is so adorable what a little sweetheart. Go over there and clean up made me laugh. He's definitely in charge of the household chores.
Good hard working kid. Awesome job
[удалено]
“Ma’am”
The sideways eyes after saying "washing dishes" is his way of saying "what the hell it look like, woman?!" 🤗🤗
I don’t know if I should be happy or concerned he’s already got the old man vibe down.
Nah, little dude is alright. Some kids are just born little smartasses. My older one asked me at lunch if I had a plate of my own and when I said I did she asked me politely to deal with my plate then and not hers. At 19 months old. Because I was instructing her to eat her veggies and not just the meat.
[удалено]
She shut me up
Now, this is a kid who will beat AI.
We must hide her and protect her until we rise in the carbon life form rebellion.
Oh absolutely!
I was teasing my 3-year-old nephew making him laugh, but I guess he suddenly got tired of it because he looked at me and said "Why don't you just go home"
Like he's channeling Redd Foxx.
Elizabeth!
"Ma'am?"
That bit got me.
1. Every time this video trends, it tickles me to death that the baby’s name is James spelled backwards. 2. My husband and I do this same bit now while he’s cooking dinner: “SEMAJ.” “Ma’am.”
This is a classic. This video and the video of the lawyer on zoom saying “I am not a cat” never fail to make me cry laughing
I have never seen or heard of the cat lawyer video before. It’s freaking amazing and now saved. The eye movement from him on that already anxious looking kitten match perfectly with what he was feeling. Top that with the Texas accent and it’s comedic gold. Thank you for mentioning it.

that lawyer video was hilarious, I'm still not convinced he wasn't a cat hahaha
Thats exactly what a lawyer cat would say
exactly
Curious, how old is the video? How old is the kid now? I hope he stays awesome forever.
Wait, what lawyer video?
It was during covid, they were doing a trial on zoom. I guess he couldn't figure out how to take it off, but he had a cat filter on. Google lawyer cat zoom
Ok I’m going to look for this. I haven’t seen that and could use laugh.
How did I miss this?!?! 😂🤣😂 it was the confusion in the voice and the cat’s side eye for me. Exactly what I needed, thank you!!
I don't understand how the other guys in the video weren't cracking up
Report back
It wasn’t until you said that that I realised you are right 🤦🏾♀️ And I have a friend called James I should show him his (reverse) namesake 😃👍🏾😂
Honestly, not a bad name tho
Yeah I usually hate the "unique name" trend (see R/tragedeigh) but for some reason this one is a good one.
You're gonna hate the black community then because this is cultural thing among our people
Hate is a strong word for another culture.. just seeing as it’s an aspect that isn’t harming anyone
The creativity! ❤️
EVERYTIME this comes around I have to watch it at least 3 times, so cute
Same. I need more videos of him
The dishes video is old. He's [grown with a wife and kids now.](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLpJkVuw/)
This young man is so dedicated to takin care of his family, I just can't.
He is loved and loves back. It's beautiful to see. His [rap](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLpNfwWq/) about his mom is another one of my favorites.
I believe in reincarnation now. That 3 year old has a 70+ soul
He’s been here before
I was thinking the same thing. Spirit of an 80 year old granny.
Let the boy wash, teach him about the mess he made AFTER he's finished.
After all, "you got shoes on"
How about little man do dishes and you help out by cleaning up- learn teamwork
If you got shoes on you're ready to work. Can't be letting a 3yo show you up. Trade places with lil man.
You got shoes on though.
This kid went from "ma'am" to "go over there and clean up" lmao
That Ma’am got me good.
He read you so respectfully!😂😂
He’s so darn cute!
"Ma'am"... had me laughin out loud. Thanks for posting. And yeah, like someone else said, that child is being raised right.
"Ma'am" 🥰😆
“Ma’am” haha little gentleman right there
“You got shoes on, though” means “your socks won’t be getting wet; what’s the problem.. ma’am?”
You got shoes on, though! Kids 3 going on 60!
He is a whole vibe and I'm in love. What an absolute doll. ❤️
A true bro, I salute him!
Omg what a freaking cutie! “You got shoes on though” 💕
Cracks me up every time time i see it
The helpfulness. The independence. The courtesy. The logic. Aggggghhhh! My 51 yr old ovaries are screaming at me right now to give my 28 year old daughter a sibling.
That kid is being raised right
Except why she lie about taking a picture of him for
It’s a video, so she ain’t lying
That lil kid is 80 yo! Yall wont fool me
How could I raise my unborn child to be like him? His ability to respond is phenomenal at his age
Talk to your child. Talk to them all the time, don't dumb your vocabulary down, just keep talking and listening. Let them know nothing they say is dumb or pointless. Your child will grow with you, and you will learn so much from each other.
Talk to them, read to them. Don't park them in front of a TV or tablet all day like many parents do.
Semaj is the shit! Love him!
His lil "Ma'am" is too cute.
The hell kind of strategic error is this Mom making? You help that kid learn how to wash dishes. Can you imagine having a kid that loves washing dishes? Fuckin' dream world right there.
Straight up adorable, now I wanna see him looking out the window and complaining about the neighborhood
I love that he answered her, "ma'am?" Memories.....
Cutie
he's adorable
This always gets me.
I don't care who you are, that's some cuteness right there and if it don't make you smile you need to ask yourself why you're so unhappy.
“Ma’am” 😍😍😍
What’s with the caption? Its doesn’t sound anything like “warshing”. lol did you hear a 60 year old southern man?
"Washin diiishes" shoot me in the heart already
"Ma'am?" There's no better response.
Love the attitude 🤌✨
“You got shoes on though!” 😂
He got a point 🙌
I love how he says washing dishes.
Washing dishes 👀
You got shoes on tho! 😆
"Ma'am" Adorable!!
“You got shoes on though” 🤣💖
How long had this kid been alive?
Literally one of the best videos on the internet. Cracks me up
What a sweet boy, trying to do dishes for his Momma! He started young, don’t discourage him. Show him how he can help.
Hahahaha he sounds full grown 😂
I have seen this video so many times and it never gets old
“Washing dishes (sheesh, what does it look like I’m doing!!)”
I hope my kid is this fun lol
Omg so cute! He’s a little helper, encourage him and who cares about the mess. Just let him get used to helping out
His name is just James spelled backwards 😭
That’s a good kid. Encourage it.
I love this video ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Kid's washing the dishes and you complainin about the water he's droppin ? Let the kid do the dishes in peace momma!
The little baby looks very adorable, washing dishes.
