Yes, sir!

The other day I was reading a very sexy book in which the woman said, “Yes, sir,” to the hero. And when I say he liked it, I mean he really liked it.

Living in the Deep South and working in a male dominant day job, I’ve never thought anything of including the respectful address of sir in responding to a customer’s yes or no question over the phone. Now since I’ve read this book and enjoyed it tremendously – talk about hot! – whenever I say “Yes, sir” or “No, sir” I can’t help but wonder in the far reaches of my mind if certain customers get a thrill out it. No. I’m not wanting a response like in the book, I’m just curious.

Just as I’m always surprised when they comment on my accent. Of course, it takes me a couple seconds of “What accent?” tumbling through my thoughts before I realize they’re talking about my Southern drawl.

Hmmm. It’s something to think a little more about. Little tidbits to add to my books.
