Your Daughter is BRILLIANT!

Listen, I am a Southern (US) boy. Born and Raised to be a 'Gentleman' but I lived in NYC for 5.5 years and the absurd lack of decency drove me away.

To this day, each and every year, I go to NYC at least once a year for Christmas shopping. I make it a POINT to stand at a door, holding said door and observing how many of those crusty, nasty, arrogant NY'ers actually say 'thank you.' When they dont? I stick my Marine Corps sized head in their face and say "OH, You're welcome. you MUST be a NY'er."

I dont care WHO you are: when someone does something decent for you, you say "THANK YOU!" PERIOD!

You've not only taught your Daughter a great lesson about granting old pensioners respect, you've also, apparently, taught her that NO ONE PERSON requires respect, it is a gift, given, not deserved. Absolutely BRILLIANT!

Mega-clicks to the wee one!

Cheers,
