I'm with Yvonne on the pronounciation of Ms. At least, that's always the way I've heard it pronounced.

As for how kids address me - it really doesn't matter to me whether they're formal or not. I'm sure if we'd objected to my nieces calling us by our first names their parents would have made them address us more formally. But it never seemed to me to be an issue of importance. I'm more concerned with how they act and if they're well-behaved, really. Which they - generally <g> - are.

Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
