Several years ago, a neighbor's kid who was over playing with my kids


called me by my first name. Had to explain to him that he could call me Mr. Tafkam, or Mr. Hokie, but children don't get to use my first name. He got perplexed by that. From then on, he tended to just call me Dave's Dad.

I tried.
