| Subject: RE: What should we be teaching our children? bradleyd3 - 2008-10-02 3:54 PM T Say 'yes sir/no sir', 'yes ma'am/no ma'am' That's a regional thing, I think - esp. in the South, it seems. Saying "yes, please" or "no thank you" is perfectly acceptable, imho, or a simple "yes" or "no" if the question doesn't call for "please" or "thank you". As is making direct eye contact and speaking up and speaking clearly when you are addressing an adult. I think that's more important. To show that you are being attentive to what you are being asked. Most kids these days just sort of look away and mumble.
