Mrs. Hannah

Mrs. Hannah was my best friend Lois' mom. Try as I might, as an adult I just could not call her by her first name, Ursula.  That "Mrs. Hannah" name was too ingrained from childhood, so even well into my sixties I still called her Mrs. Hannah. She ran a busy household where her kids' friends were always welcome and she'd chat you up, smoking a cigarette and drinking coffee at the kitchen table. She was the most extremely ticklish person I've ever met and would go into hysterical squeals on the floor if you even pretended to tickle her.
