re: Sir and Ma'am..... Do you use it?

Still use it till this day. Also, my kids can tell you just how quick my hand will come around if I hear them say "yeah" or "no" or "what" to an adult.

My in-laws in Ohio get mad because I address them with respect. They always utter "blah blah, slaves had to do that, blah blah". They're really pissy about it. I think they're finally starting to realize that I'm not going to stop though.
