Just please, ladies.... if you keep your lastname, but it's different from your childrens.... don't yell at your kids friends if they call you "Mrs. Kidslastname"

When I was about 8 or 9, I was over at my friend Colleen's house. Her mom said Hi to me, and I said "Hi Mrs. Colleen's Last Name" Her mother acted like I'd called her a dirty whore, started screaming at me, and sent me home. All she had to say was "Oh, no honey, my last name is different than Colleen's. It's Xxxxxxxx".

Then again, as I found out later on, her mom was craaaaaaazy.
