How about "are you smarter than a 5th grader?"
All appears cute on the outside until the results rear their ugly heads.
One of the reasons we don't watch tv and are very picky with what movies/cartoons our kids watch.
We also expect them to address adults with "Mr. or Mrs."

Both of my kids are very respectful, they learned that by example. My son will get up from his seat at a restaurant to open a door for an older couple, good kid.
I help older folks load their groceries and put them in their car at grocery stores. Learn by example, pretty easy concept.
