We didn’t talk back and it wasn’t because they’d whip us with a cat o’ nine tails and tie us to a tree in the backyard.

It simply wasn’t done. We could present a civil argument for our side, but there was no endless whining and door slamming and yelling.

It was the same with my daughter.

I remember one and only one incident of hearing a friend of mine call her mother ‘a worthless bitch’ and at 15, I seriously expected lightning bolts to strike. It just wasn’t done.
