As an adult, do you refer to your childhood friends’ parents as Mr./Mrs. [last name]?

Mr. / Mrs. 1st name.

No. Its Miss Nancy.. Mr. George. I don't think I ever heard of someone say in real life "Hi Mr. & Mrs. Cromwell"..

These names are completely random.

For the majority it's mr or mrs last name, but there are a few who've had a few divorces and i just can't keep up with it... so the get the first name treatment, until i can lock in on the new last name.

Yes, to me, it's a sign of respect for them.

Generally, anyone who I would consider to be close to my parents age gets a ‘yes sir/ma’am’ from me

Whether I know them or not

Pretty much this, even when I was a kid.

Ms. First name. Their dads most of them i call coach since alot of them were either one of my basketball or football coaches growing up. Always been that way.

It varies. Some parents are more or less friends as adults and get the first name treatment. Some parents for a variety of reasons will always be Mr./Mrs. Last Name.

On a related note, you know you’re getting old when kids at duck camp start referring to you as Mr. First Name. It’s a real “when the frick did that start” moment.
