Heh. Yeah, that is funny. I called my in-laws by their formal names up until the time we got married, but within a short time after the wedding, they started referring to themselves by first name when calling on the phone ("Hey Ben, it's Susan...") so I took that queue and made the switch then. That said, the fact that I don't particularly respect them probably made that transition a little easier...
