I have a question for the elders here. The impression that I'm getting is that while you'd like (or sometimes expect) kids to be more formal rather than simply using your first name, once the kid grows up and becomes a full-fleged adult it becomes acceptable for him/her to use your first name?
I suppose I find it a little odd. :p The fact is while he/she may have grown up, he/she is still of younger generation, which means he/she should show you respect accorded by your age/status. Am I making sense here?
