[Princes mom]

A friend of my son's who is from GA got a job on Wall Street after graduating from college. He had never been to NY, and was a little concerned. He asked me if I could suggest anything to help his transition go smoothly. I told him, "Whatever you do, do not say 'Ma am.'" He called me a few months later and told me that he slipped and said "Yes ma'am" to someone in front of most of his co-workers, and to this day is still trying to live it down. He has a southern accent, but saying that was the icing on the cake. He told me that when he went out to happy hour, his friends ordered him a Mint Julep, as in Gone With the Wind.
