A few years ago I was shopping in a Pottery Barn. I was examining the wine glass selection (I had broken one of my sister's and was there to find a replacement). Behind me I heard a woman (younger than I ) call, "Cathy........ Cathy...... Cathy, come here...." I didn't recognize the voice and out of the corner of my eye I saw a young girl - about 7 yrs. old - so I didn't turn around. Then came The Mom Voice, "CATHERINE!!" I jumped 2 feet and spun in mid air and replied, "What!?"
She looked at me like I was from Mars and I blushed and explained that *my* name was Cathy too. Wow. The power of the Mom Voice. Damn you, Pavlov!
