Well, yes, they are. Saw a great example at the store yesterday.
The father was carefully examining the clothing and he asked his son, "Do you think you would like this one?" (I wasn't watching them at first, so I only overheard that part. The writer in me is a BIG Harriet the Spy type, LOL.) Anyways. The son then said in a kind, pleasant tone, "Yes, sir." He sounded SINCERE, not bored, not sarcastic, sin-cere. It was such a rare thing to hear around these parts, I had to turn around and get a look at the pair to see if they looked as much like nice people as they sounded, and they did. Not a trace of over-strictness or fear on either's faces.
Don't know if this matters, but someone might ask: they were black, child about six or seven, father about forty to fifty years.
If all parents and kids were like those two, this world would get along SO much better, I believe.
What do you think?
