After 26 years of living south of the Mason-Dixon Line and 21 years in the great state of Texas, people still feel the need to point out that I am a Yankee. They claim I still have an accent.
Honestly, I can’t hear it. In fact, one of the things that I have adopted into my everyday speech is saying, “Sir” and “Ma’am” to just about everybody I meet. I love that Texans teach their children from an early age to say, “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am.” Many people in our world today have lost their manners.
Manners are important.
