Write that letter. <br /><br />I guess I'm just familiar enough with teenage boys that I would have (and have been known to) say something to the young men (using my best teacher/mom's voice. I promise you, they weren't thinking. I've been surprised by how often kids like that will apologize and back off.Mary O.

You dare not say anything as the chances of GOING TO JAIL are too high. I'm serious!! <br /><br />As for tummy rubbing I didn't get any bar one (Aussie) neighbour who would just come up and rub it! Lucky for me she moved back to Oz back in June so I didn't get any more belly rubs. *phew*Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681227038111050561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-70188283778282389612009-10-18T21:29:19.053+10:002009-10-18T21:29:19.053+10:00Absolutely write that letter for Salina as well as...Absolutely write that letter for Salina as well as for other young people.

The Lord helps those who help themselves (or The Lord helps those who say "EXCUSE ME... I was here first!"). Or perhaps the lesson was that (in the scheme of things like gorgeous babies and stupid women touching strangers bellies) it wasn't really that important? And that those boys would face bigger and ruder shocks in their lives because their attitudes stank.<br /><br />Still - write that letter. Draw that line. Someone, somewhere, needs to understand that Manners Matter. Especially at the checkout queue.<br />((hugs)) to my niece...<br />BBBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985371070644061676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-24370676482489886222009-10-18T15:58:45.258+10:002009-10-18T15:58:45.258+10:00We had a sort of similar situation on Friday after...We had a sort of similar situation on Friday afternoon. JJ was waiting at the deli counter to ask for his smiley fritz with number and all, and an elderly woman came up after him and was served first (after the server asked who was next). The person serving him didn't ask for a number but the woman who pushed in must have seen us. If I had have been more on the ball I would have said that we were!.<br />Then the damn woman took bloody ages and no-one else was serving.<br /><br />But I'd write that letter if I were you.Jen at Semantically drivenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14643066498784270991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-53456173045608815292009-10-18T13:10:40.472+10:002009-10-18T13:10:40.472+10:00Write that letter.
