i don't know how many times i've heard the expression, "kids these days" used all around me.
well, let me tell you about a couple "kids these days" -- sometimes they can surprise you with the smallest gestures, in the most unexpected places.
today i made a quick run over to the mall over my lunch break. when i was both entering and exiting the building, a tiny boy (the first time) and little girl (the second) waited and held the door open for me to pass. they were no more than half my size, and there they were, struggling to keep the heavy doors cracked enough for me.
perhaps the children in this county are exceptionally behaved, but i was impressed. there are some adults who haven't even held doors open for me!
so "kids these days" -- there's hope for you after all.
I agree, but unfortunately like past generations, I see kids these days doing things that you and I wouldve never thought to do at that age? Is it that this behavior is more prevalent or that were just seeing it more because were older? Anyway, good for those children and the parents who taught them to do that, definitely a sweet gesture.
