The Kindness of a Very Polite Little Boy

"Politeness is a desire to be treated politely, and to be esteemed polite oneself."
~ Francois de la Rochefoucauld

At the end of a long week, I was entering a building with four children and all of us were loaded with items, ranging from backpacks to a hot pizza box.  A boy, who could not have been older than seven, saw us and opened the door for us.  As we all approached the elevator, he stood by the door of the elevator, holding it open and making sure that we all got in.  We all thanked him.  When we exited the elevator, one of the teenagers with me said, "I don't think I have ever seen a more polite boy."
