“In my day, living where I did, I was taught to say 'yes, sir' and 'yes ma'am.' I was taught respect. On the one hand, adults in Greensville also showed respect for kids. You rarely heard a grown-up curse in front of a child, for example. Kids were taught to mind their manners all right, but as far as I could tell, the older folk set a decent example.”
