Those who know me may say that I have a tendency to overdo on endearments. Folks young and old, male and female will often be addressed as "Hons;" favorite females as "Ladies;" favorite males as "Sirs;" and those closest to me are almost always "Sweeties." If I am guilty of overdoing it, I have no one to blame but my Grandma Mary Jean.
Her favorite endearment for her grandchildren was "Love." As in, "Come here once, Love." Or, "How's my Love?" (Sounds a bit British, doesn't it? But she wasn't. I'm not sure where she got the phrase. I haven't met anyone yet who can match it!)
What are your favorite endearments? Who do you like to bestow them on?
