Servant

Hearing a department store clerk address me as "Ma'am," four-year- old Jennifer asked what that meant.
"Ma'am is short for madam," I replied.
"It's a polite way to address a woman."
Jennifer asked what name Daddy would be called. "Sir,"
I answered. "Sir ..." she thought for a moment,
"that must be short for servant!"
