A male friend of ours was at Costco with his son (about 4 years old at the time?) and his son was throwing a tantrum, so he walked away from him. His son called "Dad! Dad! Dad!" when he didn't respond, he started yelling "Eugene! Eugene!" still no response, so he yelled "Babe!!!" (what he and his wife call each other.) haha. </p>
