Folks,

I was always taught to say yes ma'am and sir out of respect at a very early age! My parents never disciplined me if I forgot to address an older person in that manner. They would just politely remind me that I was talking to an older person and out of respect to answer yes sir or no sir, etc. I think that my father was more strict with this rule because he was a career military man!
