Time to MTFU

Sometimes I need to be reminded that I am, in fact, an adult. I come from a family where, "Yes, ma'am" and "Yes, sir" are always the appropriate response, and I feel like I am carrying that into my adult life; a time when I finally get to exert my own thoughts, opinions, wants, interests, and demands. A time when I finally get to use "no" if I so choose. 

Or...at least, "No, ma'am."
