      To be serious, yes, absolutely. How many children hear their parents just bark orders at their virtual assistants without a please or thank you, and then do so themselves? I consciously say please and thank you because I want the children around me to learn they should say please and thank you.

      And, let’s be honest, how many adults get used to just barking orders without a please and thank you and then interact with people that way, too?

        We need to be the change we want to see in the world. And the thing is: we are, whether we wanted to be or not.
