No fooling! "Sir" and "Ma'am" is in in good circles. But there are always segments of society that are rude and not up to speed on what families should look like. Embarrassing for them.

Similar to the stuff they show on TV, where the parent is driving the kid to school and he asks to be dropped off a half mile away (rather than be seen with mom or dad). That said, it sounds as if this situation was ruder than usual. I hope that mom did something about it when they got home...and I'm GLAD you said something to that girl. Perhaps it will make her think. I believe what you witnessed was typical teenager embarassment at parents.
