I was walking into the checkout lane at the grocery store this morning.
I was entering from the wrong direction because I didn’t think there were any customers in that lane.
I was wrong. A small Asian lady was also entering from the proper direction.
When I saw her, I began backing out of the lane and told her, “Ladies first!”
She saw I was much older than her and insisted that I should be served ahead of her.
Here were two complete strangers practicing the good manners they had been taught.
She had been taught to RESPECT HER ELDERS!
I had been taught LADIES FIRST!
How are your MANNERS and what are you teaching your KIDS?
You want a more CIVIL SOCIETY?
PRACTICE AND TEACH GOOD MANNERS!
If not today, when?
