GREAT comeback!!

IMHO, one of the reasons a lot of children are running amok is because adults are too busy trying to be their friends and not their elders. Children should not be calling adults by their first names, unless it's Mr. Josh or Ms. Pam - and adults should quit being so frightened of sounding old that they put up with poor behavior!
