12/5/2023 0 Comments Hey sweetie cookies![]() They’re both great, but I think Uncle Theo might get fired again. The answer is: Yes! So here’s what happened today: After work we met Uncle Theo and Aunt Meg for Korean food and then they came back to our place. How’s camp? Are you the coolest, most awesome kid in the whole bunk? Wait, don’t answer. We called him like four times but he never came! After a while we gave up and just had sex on your bed. We opened a bottle of wine and cleaned out your school backpacks and we waited for the weed guy to show up. (Inappropriate!) When I got home from work Mommy decided to call a weed delivery guy she said knew. (Family surf safari, again?) Mommy emailed her boss and told her that she was taking you to the orthodontist, but really she just stayed in bed watching Game of Thrones. Hey, happy Monday! How awesome is it not to be in school right now? So this morning we got up late (7:30!) and then stayed in bed drinking coffee and scanning Facebook to see what other people said they did over the weekend. I mean, it’s not like your heart’s gonna literally explode after just one cigarette! In fact, lots of parents smoke once in a while and not just the French ones. Oh, and TBH: Smoking’s not quite as bad as we might have told you. They’re like those Whole Foods cookies you guys complain about - technically, they’re cookies, but not the kind you want to eat too many of. On the way we stopped at the store to get some wine for dinner and Mommy came out with a surprise: a bright-yellow box of American Spirits! I won’t lie - they’re cigarettes but they’re not real cigarettes. Hey, Darling! So as soon as we left your bunk, Mommy stopped crying and we drove back home. But don’t worry, I won’t forget to feed the hamster and we promise to write you every day. If we have time, we might see a movie or meet some friends for dinner, something boring like that. To be honest, we can probably use the time to get organized a little and regroup after the busy school year. The person will feel your awkwardness and that awkwardness will sever the connection.Hey, Sweetie! You’re probably still unpacking and getting to know your new bunkmates, but OMG, Mommy and I already miss you and your sister so much! I guess we’ll get by somehow. Don’t be too afraid of making a mistake.People love the sound of their own voice. Ask them what you should call them and use it often. What you learned in school might not be correct (a lot of students are writing in and making this mistake).Always listen and see how others are addressing you and the people around them.This is also fine if you don’t know the person (like to a shop owner)ĭarlin’= we might use this more in southern United States When you talk to someone higher up or when you just want to show respect you can say: “excuse me sir…” You should only start the letter “Dear (name).” This person might be getting confused with “Dear Lindsay” which is perfectly fine and can be professional.ĭon’t get the two confused. I have seen emails from students to me that start “Hi Dear…” Middle aged women might say “Baby, what do you want to drink with that?” (with a southern accent) but you wouldn’t hear this as much in New York City. *but sometimes “hon” is used for less intimate people- like casual friends-ĭown south you hear “honey” or even “baby” being used to address a stranger. When they talk to their children or grandchildren- “honey” or “sweetie/sweetheart” or “hon”.When people talk to their partners – they might say “honey” or “babe” or “sweetie/sweetheart” or “baby”.Learn to speak naturally with the American accent. ![]() Get the transcripts from today’s episode.

So could you and Michelle please share your thoughts? Thank you! Thanks a lot for your hard working once again.Have a good one!” I’m confused, and don’t know which is proper in which type of relationships. ![]() I seem to have seen old or new friends (just friends) call each other “my dear”, “honey”,”sweetie”, or even “sweetheart”(sweet names like that, which I thought only people in love or in family would call. Today we’ll give answer a listener question on this topic so that you’ll never be confused about what to call someone again. It depends on how well you know them and a bunch of other factors. Should you say “honey” or “sweetie” or “dear” or something else? ![]()
