About 3 weeks ago I was in the elevator with my little neighbor (about 8 or 9 years old) and his grandfather. When we reached the lobby, my little neighbor was about to run out of the elevator and his grandfather stopped him and said in Spanish “Wait a minute, ladies go first”. This morning, once again I shared the elevator with my little neighbor but this time he was there with his mom and little brother. When we got to the lobby, his little brother (around 4 or 5 years of age) was going to get out of the elevator first when my neighbor holds him back and says “no Carlitos, the girls always get off first” =D

Gentlemen aren’t born, they are raised. Teach your kids the right things, and the rest will hopefully fall into place. Fads come and go, but good manners are never out of style.
