Imagine being some boy coming to the White House to pick up Malia for their first date. He is summoned to the Oval Office for a quick meeting with the president.

O: Hello, young man.

Boy: Hello Mr. President.

Some small talk

O: Have a good time. These men with machine guns (points to two beefy agents in sunglasses and earpieces) will be there to make sure you have a good time the correct way.

He really was a sweetheart and the softy in my house....but when a guy came to pick me up, he altered his voice, got loud, but still polite, shook the guy's hand hard and sent us on our way. I used to just roll my eyes.
