My mother or father would just have had to give me a 'look' and I would have said thank you quick smart.
Speaking of rudeness, my mother was lamenting this the other day. She was at the shops and heard her name called out. It was one of the daughters of a frioend of hers. She just found it very odd that this child would address her by her first name - particularly as she had never been invited to do so.
I don't know about you, but I would never do that. I still have trouble adressing the friends of my parentals by their first names, even when they remind me every time to 'call them Bob/Sheila'
