Do you notice children when they exhibit good behavior?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes, very much so. I guess it’s because I’m so used to seeing children nowadays with such horrible manners and obnoxious behavior that when a good kid comes along, it’s like “Wow, that child’s great!” But 40 + years ago, well-behaved children were more of the norm, so it’s really nice to see good children once in awhile.
