I'm latino so I of course got taught my "yes sir" "yes ma'am" "please" "thank you" etc. etc. Manners are pretty big last I checked...It was all about politeness. I was taught to be a very polite gentleman...I hold open doors and such things. I could be a little more gentlemanly at times of course though haha.

The first time I was ever called "Sir" was by a girl I know in my 8th grade art class...she tapped me on the shoulder and said "Excuse me sir..umm" and I was like "What? Did you just call me sir?(I laughed) It's Cris." These days the only people who call me "sir" are employees at resturants and stores. I walk into Buckle and it's "Can I help you sir?" "No thank you I'm just looking."

It doesn't bother me too much these days even though I'm only 20. I take it as "Hmm well at least they don't think I look like a kid!" See I don't look my age and get confused for a highschooler all the time it's kind of annoying. I also always get hit on by girls who are too young for me which is a shame haha. So I like the idea of being looked at as what I am. I am a man. Not a boy but a man. So I'm okay with Sir...now if it were people my age at a bar or club, or around campus calling me that I might find it a bit strange but not really haha.

Asta!!
