Times They Are A-Changin...

It wasn't that long ago that I was a child being taught manners. Actually, my mother STILL likes to point out my missteps, but that's for another time.

I'm going to sound like an old biddy by saying this... when did respecting elders become passe?

I think it's most disturbing when the disrespectful witch, I mean person, you encounter is someone that you know and the elder being disrespected is your own mother. My mother.

I'm known for my sarcastic mouth, however, my children are taught courtesy and respect. I WOULD NEVER be disrespectful to someone in front of my children. Sad that other people would use that as a teaching lesson for their own children.
