I couldn't believe what I saw yesterday, an elderly lady backed her van into a woman and her 4 children actually hitting the oldest and the next to the youngest (who was sitting in the shopping cart). Now, I watched....the woman in the van NEVER looked behind her to see if anyone or anything was there. The mother said something, but I was too far away to hear. Then the woman just drove off, she didn't get out to see if they were fine, no response to the mother, just drove off. What is happening to our society? Have we no regard for others, apparently not. I ask my husband daily, why do these things amaze me? His reply is I don't know because you know something is going to happen. I try and be courteous and polite to people and just wish the same in return, it seems that manners (I know, I touched on this subject once) are becoming a thing of the past. Last week I had a young man (about 10/11) tell me "that blows"! AND because he was being extremely rude and pushey and I wouldn't let him do what he wanted. I was dumbfounded! Then his mother got upset with ME, now I know where he learns it!
So please, if you read this, be kind, use manners and teach them to your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and anyone you can!!
Til next time,
