It is quite refreshing to interact with young people who are polite and appreciative. When I was growing up, most parents insisted on these words from their children:
"May I please have..."
"Thank you."
"No, thank you."
"Excuse me, please."
"Please pass the..."
This polite behavior was reinforced by teachers in the classrooms, and parents approved of the practice. Parents would remind the children, "Act like you have good manners," or, "Mind your manners."
Fortunately, some parents still insist on good manners and appreciation from their children. Lovely.
Have a good weekend,
