To this day (and I'm 63 years old) I'm still proud of the compliments
Mom & Dad used to get about their 3 "well behaved children." I heard
Mom tell her friends about the compliments and knowing how proud she was
made me feel that much better!

Since then I've tried to pass on those compliments to the
parents/caretakers of children I observe with those "acceptable" table
manners. There have been several occasions when I think my comments
have really made a parents' day.
