Kid Manners

[annundriel]

There was a really cute kid in the library today. A lot of the younger kids are really cute, but this little boy had...almost an anime cuteness about him.

He came in with his mom and was just a head or so taller than the top of the desk. As his mom put down the material she was retuning, he looked at me and said, all big eyes and round face, "May I play on the computer please?"

"Yes, you may!" I said. Because how could I refuse that? Not that I would have refused anyway. But, oh boy. Adorable. And such nice manners!

I LOVE polite children... rude/disrespectful children are the bane of my existence!

Sometimes I think people forget to teach manners. It seems less and less important.

I know! Kids these days. Tsk.

You know, the last time any strangers held the door open for me, it was at a bar. And the first two were inebriated. Drunk people in Spokane with more manners than half the people I run into. Who woulda guessed?

Though I will say that the majority of the kids at the library all say thank you when they get their books.

That's great! hahaha, drunk people tend to be polite, which is kind of odd, because they're probably asshats when they're sober.

also, I think that kids who go to the library at all are FANTASTIC!

One of the drunk guys even had a mullet, Michele! It was amazing!

The kids at the library are really fantastic. With a handful of exceptions. And then there's a whole group of them that primarily check out only DVDs. But plenty come in that check out piles of books. It makes me happy.
