Where has all the manners gone.....


This past weekend my daughter and I went to the Outlets to do some shopping. While standing in line to return a gown I had bought Mother, this young lady(use the term loosely)came pushing her way through to get in line with her Mother.
The lady behind me said "Excuse you" when the girl came through...she never acknowledged her. Another lady said "You must be a teacher"

"Why" ask the first lady....
"Cause you made a comment about her not saying excuse me....."

No the lady said... I just a parent who believes children should be polite....

We wonder why our world is in such bad shape.....maybe becuase simple things like being Polite is not important...parents are so worried about being thier kids friend that we have forgotten how to be parents....

How sad will our society be when being civil, courteous and polite becomes a thing of the past...........

I couldn't agree more. But I'm afraid that courtesy and consideration might already be things of the past.
