[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids use it. It's respectful. They also call adults "Miss/Mr" and would never just use their first name. Nothing I hate worse than hearing an adult call for a kid or ask a kid a question and the kid responding "YEAH?"[/quote] OP here. Actually, his side of the family corrects children when they are called and the children respond by saying, "what?" [/quote] This was a huge pet peeve of my mom. Not allowed to respond with a 'what', although that is a reasonable response, in my opinion.[/quote] Even "yes?" sounds nicer. And this goes both ways. If my kids address me, I respond, "Yes?" and not "What." [/quote] I was taught to either go see what the person needed (if in another room) or ask something like "Can you give me two minutes to finish please?" or "Did you need me to do something?" or "Did I forget something again?!" (The last one was my most common question!)[/quote]
