“Courteousness is consideration for
others; politeness is the method used to deliver such considerations.”
~ Bryant H. McGill
The other day
at a school event as I was talking to another mother, the son of a friend of
mine walked by. I had not seen him for a while, but when I saw him, the young
man stopped, greeted me with a big smile and very politely, and spoke to me for
a few minutes. “What a polite boy!” the
mother with whom I had been speaking said.
A little later in the evening, I saw the boy’s mother and told her how
polite her son had been. The other
mother had already beat me to it.
