Respect to parents who talk the walk and literally follow a set of rules. At an advanced age it’s becoming more apparent that my parents used KISS and it worked really well.
The expression “talk the talk but walk the walk” is an informal idiom that means someone doesn’t act in a way that matches what they say. For example, “When it comes to recycling, he talks the talk but he doesn’t walk the walk”.
