That's Enough to Tick You Off! sm

I just don't know what is wrong with people these days!  Being young, I get compared to others my age or close to it who are selfish, rude, inappropriate, etc.  I was brought up right, darn it!

My niece is 2-1/2 and she is THE politest kid I know.  If anyone within earshot of her sneezes or coughs, she says "excuse me."  She says "thank you" when someone does something for her OR when she does something for them and they say "thank you" (she says "thank you" right back).  Her parents worked with her but she does it on her own now. 

If someone does not thank me for something I say "you're welcome" and then watch them get all red.
