Saying “Ma’am” and “Sir”
Saying “ma’am” and “sir” was drilled into my core at an early age. To this day, I routinely respond to people of all ages in this manner. I believe that John Bridges and Bryan Curtis are “spot on” in their book, 50 Things Every Young Gentleman Should Know. Below is an excerpt from their book.
In some parts of the country, young gentlemen are brought up to say “ma’am” and “sir” when they are talking to older people. In other places, people never say “ma’am” and “sir.”
If you live in Maine and you are visiting your grandmother in Georgia, you might think it sounds stupid when you hear your cousins saying “ma’am” and “sir.” But if you’re from Georgia and are visiting your grandmother in Maine, you might think your cousins are being rude when they answer adults by simply saying “yes” or “no.”
It is not so important what you say, but how you say it. If what you say is said with kindness and respect, it will be the right thing to say.
CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY:
Why do seagulls fly over the sea?
Because if they flew over a bay, they would be bagels.
