Coddlers

Today I am imagining what it might be like to be an old person, and I am wondering if I will like having young people try to schmooze me just because I am old.

I just spoke with an old lady on the phone and I am afraid that I was a bit of a suck-up. I used the word "ma'am" more than necessary, I explained things overly-thoroughly (can you use those words together?), and I think that in general I was a bit of a 'coddler.'

I am a coddler. I coddled a 70 year old woman.

This needs to stop.
