I was reading an article in the paper about teenagers
and manners today;how we have none and it's such a
shame. It went on and on about lack of manners and
the rudeness of kids, especially in public. Bunched
us all together like goats.
I'm from the south and have been taught to say "Yes,
Ma'am and "Yes,Sir; to stand when an adult comes in
the room; take off my cap in front of a lady, the
flag or inside a building; opening doors, etc....
I understand that it's totally a home thing, but
it's so sad. I actually terrified an old lady one
day at the mall by trying to hold the door and
catch a package as it was falling out of her arms.
She thought I was trying to rob her!
I had a teacher tell me not say "Ma'am" to her cause
it was degrading. Never quite understood that one.
Are manners becoming a thing of the past? Just
wondering..............
