to do the dishes

How does a 19 year old bearded male who works with kids address little girls he does not know the name of? If I was a 19 year old girl I could go with honey, sweetie, etc. As a six foot four gentleman with scruff, trying to pull that shit would look wicked suspect (i.e. come to my van i have ponies and magic) or wicked gay. If i was addressing a little boy i would have a plethora of options i.e. buddy, chief, guyzo, bro, boss, tough guy, champ, sport, if it's the forties then mac, etc. As it stands there are only two viable options. The direct route which is to literally call them little girl, which is sort of weird in a way you can't put you finger on, or the indirect route. The indirect route is to forgo a dressing them altogether and just kinda talk at them and make eye contact and hope that they put it together that you are talking to them.
