That’s a 747 that just went over.
Trouble was nigh when I heard “young lady,” accompanied by the Deadly One Raised Eyebrow. My brother got “son,” and the same chilling stare.
“Little mister” and “little lady” were used for my brother and I (respectively) by both Mom and Dad, but not really for discipline, exactly … it was more like a firm yet friendly “settle down now!” For example, when we were bouncing off the walls on Christmas morning, we’d get a “Whoa there, little mister (or little lady, depending on which kid was spazzing out), let’s wait for Mom to get her robe and slippers and we’ll all go to the tree together.”
My in-laws say “little man” instead of “mister” in this exact same scenario, which I also think is cute.
“Little Mister” and “Little Missy” were used in my family. Usually they were used when you were being scolded but not really in trouble.
“Get to bed, Little Mister” or “Don’t be a smarty pants, Little Missy”
“FirstName MiddleName LastName” meant you were in mucho trouble and was to be avoided at all costs.
Bippy, Phase42, I knew exactly what the OP meant but I still think that’s the most disturbing thread title on the Board. L
