Seat68 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 When a toddler is polite When I started seeing the current Mrs Seat, I met her nephew who was 3 at the time, he said "Hello, my name is Luke John Paul, pleased to meet you", he then extended his hand to be shaked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lad calls adults "sir" or "Miss" .. it's how they have to address the teachers at school far to formal for my liking and I hope he grows out of it , but I must admit it is wonderful when he addresses people in day to day situations and you see the look of almost joy that a child addresses them so respectfully Edited January 29, 2014 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I am happy whenever anyone is polite, its seriously lacking in modern society. totally agree it's just usually when i hear the words "sir" it's followed by "you've had too much to drink and we'd like you to leave " I find in day to day life that ( and without trying to stereotype) , Women are the worst , in that they have zero courtesy on the road , always block junctions , never give way when cars are parked on their side of the road , never acknowledge you when you do it for them and also think its acceptable to stand in front of doors having a conversation so that everyone has to limbo dance around them to get in the door or block isles in supermarkets whilst they carry out their important conversations yeah I'm exaggerating a point ...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Pulled a fit little 18 years young French lady today. I won't call her, she's 18 (and I'm betrothed, kind of), but it's nice to know you've still got game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
