Today my patient (older than me of course by 25 years) kept saying "yes ma'am" to me. Finally her mom said, "You don't have to call her ma'am. She is a little girl!"

Her reply, "Well, she is a registered nurse."
This is one of many different remarks given about my youthfulness. I suppose I'll be thankful for it some years down the road. I'm getting tired of at work, especially when people don't take you seriously. Boo.
