וְנַעַר קָטֹן נֹהֵג בָּם

A paraphrased, embellished, and possibly entirely invented conversation

Kid: I don't understand something I heard in school today

DB: OK

K: The rabbi said that speaking to someone in the third person was always a sign of respect, and that we don't do this nowadays because we live in a disrespectful society.

DB: OK

K: But how can this be? Three times a day I say, "vten tal." I never say "V'hashen yeeten tal." Davening is full of examples like this. Why does a Hasidic Rebbe deserve more respect than God?
