My husband was a little different in that his family used first names with titles for grandparents. Hmmm...I think sometimes they don't say titles for aunts and uncles too.

But down here children can even call grown women by their first name as long as they say Miss before it. ( Doesn't matter if they're married or not.) But you'd better always say ma'am and sir, lol. My oldest got into trouble several times at school for that. I didn't grow up here and where I lived you'd only say ma'am and sir sarcastically. So I never taught it to the kids and they had to learn it at school.
It was also funny and a bit exasperating to have other adults tell my children they are rude because they didn't call ME ma'am. * roll eyes*

And it's only fair that your sister return the favor.
