Kindness and Teenager-Inspired Good Manners

"The hardest job kids face today is learning good manners without seeing any."
~ Fred Astaire

My children have a friend who is an incredibly well-mannered teenage boy.  I have written about him in the past.  One of my favorite stories is of this teenager's jumping over a bush to open my car door.  My elementary-school-age son greatly admires this teenager and has been making a point of opening my car door.  As we were leaving the grocery store recently, my son ran around to my car door, opened it and said, "Andrew style."  His door-opening chivalry is now named after this teenager, and I am grateful for the inspiration.
