(Explanation)

In the waiting room at my vet's office, there's a bird and a guinea pig, and on their cages are signs that say, in a child's handwriting:

The bird's name is Tweety. Say: Hi Tweety! I love you Tweety! Yeahhh, Tweety!
The guinea pig's name is Mr. Pickles. Say: Hi Mr. Pickles! I love you Mr. Pickles! Yeahhh, Mr. Pickles!

Ever since I first saw the signs I have loved the idea that this is the form proper greetings should take, and have often applied it in various life situations. And I kept thinking it last night.
