Letter from The Editor: Please & Thank You
March 3rd, 2010 | Published in Letters, Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Have you said your please and thank you’s today? Where is our home training? Just because we are not getting our home training at home anymore means we shouldn’t search for and use them daily? Lets see: we wear our house shoes outside of the house, bath robe outside of the bathroom, under garments… well you see where I’m going with this.
I’ve always said that my child (whenever he or she is conceived) will be the most well mannered, well behaved creature ever, simply because I can not stand a snot nose, smart mouthed crumb snatcher, but as parents who can we blame but ourselves? Well I am not a parent so I guess I’m talking to you or the person behind you. Who can you blame but yourself?
Each child must know that it is not only improper but impolite to not address an adult as Maam or Sir. Funny be it though, whenever I use the word Maam to a woman older than myself, guess what they say to me… “who are you calling Maam, I ain’t that old.” I’m channeling Ed Lover right now … C’MON SON! We have to do better people. Teach the children! When was the last time you said Maam, Sir, please or thank you? Like Katt Williams’ said in “It’s Pimpin Pimpin,” “Don’t worry, I’ll wait.”
We must set a good example. “Do as I say not as I do” is sooooo contradictory of how a child is suppose to be raised. If the child sees right, they will know right. It is then up to the child to act right or not. As opposed to only knowing and channeling the wrong that is seen in their own home. Lets create a better future for our self, for our offspring, for our race; starting today. Please?
Love,
The Editor
*thank you*

Great post!!! Many children are lost and have no respect for authority whatsoever, and 9 times out of 10 or eleven it’s hereditary.
