Big 10-4 Bill.
BTW, I think it was those parents that started to allow kids to call
their friends and associates by their first names, instead of Mr.
jones or Ms. Smith, that started the issue of no respect. I did not
learn my parents friends first names until I was about 12. Then I
still called them Mr. or Ms, as a sign of my respect. My kids did the
same as I felt they were owed that respect. Oh and if I got yelled at
by Mrs Orendorf from up the street, you can bet dad found out about it.
Mr. Duquette, if you put your hands on my daughter, you are the one
not going home that night. Letting the neighbors teach the kids a
thing or too is not a bad deal, but all parents, back then, knew what
the boundries were too.
