Yes you heard right!
I love goofiness! My family are all very goofy. He reminds me of how my dad was when growing up. He was really goofy, but strict. Taught us manners and how to behave and treat others with respect, while still having fun. His boys have some of the best manners I have seen in a long while. You don't see too many young boys that have such great manners and are eager to help with whatever needs to be done. His boys wouldn't even let me help them carry my cages I bought from them, like great young gentlemen.
If only everybody taught their children the same kind of manners and politeness as those two our world would be a much better place. And the Teachers today would have a much better time in the classroom with the children, at least here in America. I am not saying they were the only children with manners at the event, I just really noticed how polite and what great manners they had, so I do believe Teach must be doing something right. Maybe I am wrong, maybe it is their mom, LOL.
Here in America, most people have gotten away from good morals, politeness, and how/what we can do to help out our fellow man (neighbor, friend, family, or even stranger). In some other countries, you will still find that the children are to obey all elders and will do whatever they need to to help out another person. In the classroom, the children respect their teachers and will not be tolerated otherwise. It just boils down to us parents, many of us are not teaching our children of today the manners that was once instilled in us. Instead, it is what can we do to make our own lives better, but not what can we do to make others around us better. In whole, this lack of manners is a destruction of our society here in America that is hurting us in the long run.
O.K. I will get off of my soap box now! LOL
Oh my goodness Kate....thank you for something so well said. I just wish there were more parents like you. I too feel that lack of manners is our destruction....why our jails are so full and crime so high. We don't teach to respect others things and other people.
Teach...I agree with Kate...your kids are very well mannered. When you son rode with us to eat last Saturday everything he answered with was Yes maam or no maam...how awesome. I'm sure they little varmits at times but that's what I like in a kid....knows how to have fun....but still knows when they need to show respect. You should be proud of your boys Teach and mom. By the way...they must be a chip off of mom...LOL
Teach did not teach them that his wife did
