My parents taught me to say, “Yes Sir.” and “Yes Ma’am.” Reverence and respect were an important part of my upbringing. The reason behind my parents teaching was simple: when you show respect for authority, or someone of age, you show respect to their Maker. We may disagree with our parents or the policies of someone in a position of authority, but we should never be disrespectful to them.
