"Yes, Ma'am." by Ladyrosegrey Redbubble

He shifted his backpack, gave me a nervous smile, and said, "Yes, ma'am. I'll be glad to see you!" It was the first day of a new school year and my oldest son's first day ever at his former home-school co-op. Nervously, he pushed open the heavy door to the auditorium where all the students gathered for first class.

Ma'am is used to note respect to a woman with a noble title. You would not always say "Lady Susan", the maid could answer, "Yes, Ma'am." (In England, it often sounds like "Mum".) Teachers in some institutions are called ma'am at the same times a man would be addressed as "sir". (We used "Miss" in my school.)

When someone says "Yes ma'am," they are using a polite and respectful way of affirming something that an older or superior woman has said. The term "ma'am" is a contraction of "madam," which is a term of respect used to address a woman. It is often used in formal or polite situations, such as when speaking to a boss, a teacher.
