I used to have a book called the Goop Book which was all about children and manners - I especially remember the story about the boy who picked his nose. I still have a few old books from when I was little, namely, Ferdinand (amazing pictures), Guy Fawkes, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, as well as many other adult books I've bought at antique book barns and such. I love books. <br /><br />And speaking of manners, remember at Christmas when you had to write thank-you notes to everyone who gave a gift? Kids today don't even know what one is. Why, I remember when...hmmm, maybe I should stop now before I start sounding like all those old folks the kids now probably think I look like.mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978947499777787671.post-28254396965303326222010-07-14T08:35:39.854-04:002010-07-14T08:35:39.854-04:00Telephone manners are no longer taught in school, ...Telephone manners are no longer taught in school, and that's a darn shame. Plenty of parents don't teach it either. My husband and I DID teach our daughters how to properly say hello and identify yourself when calling someone's house, but plenty of their friends call our house and say:<br /><br />"Yeah, who's this?"<br /><br />Actually, some adults could use lessons too.Dianne K.
