When I was young, my mom kept saying, you give me respect, I'll give you respect. I heard her say that to many people. And I always grew up thinking respect was earned, that I had to prove myself and you would respect me. But as we grow older, I think in my life respect is appreciated, but it's expected because I don't expect to have to address you in any other way than hello, how are you? Nice to meet you

And when new kids would come over like they had never been over there before, the other children or teenagers would tell them like, hey, we don't cuss over here. We don't cuss at Miss Andrea house. Now don't be over here loud talking. Don't come over here with that stuff. Like, we don't do that over here. She let us stay over here as long as we won't. But you got to respect her house and her rules, right?

It was very clear what you were saying, that your default position should be to respect people, but the continuous respect needs to be earned. And I love that phrase. I love the way that you've put that. Miss Andrea. Thank you. Great question. Cheers

Thank you so much. Ms. Andrea, you know, you always put things in such a way that it's easy to understand. I wonder if you ever considered being a teacher or do you teach Sunday school at all? Because people can get such clarity in the words that you say. I love the way that you said that continual respect has to be earned, but respect is expected in the beginning

Well, thank you so much, Ms. Evelyn. Thank you so much for those kind words. As a matter of fact, I do teach Sunday school. Sometimes I teach the adult class, sometimes I teach the youth. I am the youth director. And I also teach Bible study, and I mentor people, and I'm thinking of getting into coaching. So, yes, thank you. And I love to teach. I absolutely love to teach

I thought she did a wonderful job, too. I really enjoyed the way she explained it. And I'm so glad that you chimed in and that you came to participate in this. Well, thank you so much for being here. I appreciate it so much. Bye

I was raised by my grandparents, so I grew up saying miss in front of any person's name. Miss Lucy, Miss Elizabeth, Miss Diane. And I still do that now in my seasoned years. So sometimes, oh, my gosh, please don't call me miss. It just makes me feel so old. But I'm not looking at it as being old. I'm looking at it as being respectful

After that, it subsequently through things that people do or participate in or show you. I'm not from Missouri, but show me. That's what I'm saying. So thank you so much for your response. It was lovely. Thank you. And it was well thought out, too
