When I was younger I was told to treat other with respect,

Well how do I show respect when I don't even what it is.

No ones showed me respect.

Is yelling respect?

Is cussing respect?

I guess so since what people have shown me.

So I'll do what I've learn and see how people react,

Cussing back and yelling back

Ok they are respecting me right?

But then he showed me

Talked quietly

Talked politely

No cussing

No yelling

So is he showing disrespect,

What am supposed to do?

I ask him why

He said he was teach me respect.

I guess an old dog can learn new tricks.

I know how to respect

How to talk,

And not yell.

How to use my words, 

And not cuss.

Thanks for teach this old dog some new tricks.
