Steve -
You are so right on the money with manners. I am generally very polite and have been complimented on my manners.

My own 2 sons are raised this same way. Call my house and my sons answer "Hello, the Sheppards, may I ask who is calling?"

Pls, thank your, you are welcome, beg your pardon, excuse me are all part of our daily life around our place. It goes without saying down here in the South that children and young adults will say Yes Sir, No Sir, Yes Ma"am, No Ma"am, etc.

When folks compliment me how well mannered, well behaved my boys are I IMMEDIATELY have the individual direct those compliments to my sons. I find this just reinforces it for them plus they get the recognition for doing the right thing.
