Quite so.

I have mentioned before how my son speaks in a BBC English toffy nosed accent. I quite like this, given that I can sound like pure westie trash at times.

Additionally, he has impecable manners. He always says his pleases and thank yous. He always interjects with "excuse me" if he has something to say.

However, I find it odd when my son speaks to me as if I am a visiting church official.

Me - "L, you are such a lovely boy" (I am hopelessly in love with this child and tell him all the time.

L - (Gazes at me calmly and then nods) "Thank you very much, Mother"

Me - ?
