ON A FIRST NAME BASIS

I will call myself Margaret Brown. I wear a name badge wtih my name and photo when at work. One day, soon after the children arrived, one little boy with red hair started calling out and waving his arm around "Ms. Brown, Ms. Brown" I continued to ignore his calling out as he persisted in calling my name. Suddenly, he stopped. Good, I thought. Smugly, I turned to write on the board as he called out "Damn it, Margaret!"
