Pet Peeve of the Day

Today on one of the flights, the girl behind me was on her cell the entire time the flight boarded. While it was annoying and I now know she doesn't call guys, guys call her, it wasn't quite at pet peeve status. When she made her next call and said that her "Mommy" was going to pick her up, I thought maybe it was a one time thing. When she went on to say "Mommy" twelve more times in the same call, it officially reached pet peeve status.

Keep in mind this was a girl flying home from college. She's considered a legal adult, can vote and quite possibly drink legally and yet refers to her mother the same way she did when she was 2. It's ok to say Mommy when it's a time of emotional upheaval, but not in everyday conversation. Maybe she'll stop when she's old enough to rent a car . . .
