"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.
