"This is funny, because we call each other Mrs. even when we are out drinking cocktails. I guess it's a habit."How many of us know the first names of our children's teachers? How many of them actually told you their first names and asked you to use them? Better yet, how many of them call other teachers by their given names?

This may seem a trivial, unimportant question, but how we introduce ourselves to each other says much about the relationships we intend and maintain (not to mention whether the plane we're on plummets to the ground). Even when out for drinks.
