So Texas!

Well, we all know that I race lawnmowers its one of those sports that i just absolutely love because of the since of family that is involved with the sport! Anyway I was talking to a fellow racer Jon Lewman that I'd been friends with for about two years asking him about what he thought I should do on some machine upgrades.Well, he answered my questions all which were kinda dumb and before I hung up the phone I say "Ok THank you so much sir." Jon takes a deep breath and he asks "Did you just call me sir kids in this day aren't supposed to do that!" Honestly I was dumbfounded I was using manners that had been instilled in me since birth so why was he so suprised! I answered him with a Yes sir thats how I was raised! " He went on to Say that it must be some crazy Texas thing! All I have to say with that he is from Kansas about 10 hours away what in the world is wrong with our country if kids can't use manners... I guess i'll never know and if using manners is a Texan thing I think thats one think I'll have to take with me to Kentucky for college.
