Where's the Respect for Your Elders?

A long time ago when our first grandson was young -
I think around the age five or six -
there was a phone call we made to him
to say hello and talk with him for kicks.

We'd tried to make it short because of his attention span.
He’s a kid who later became a not-too chatty young man!

I felt surprised and a bit insulted
(was talking to our grandson such a bore?)
when he said very soon and matter-of-factly:
“What am I still talking to you guys for?”
