It's true, we think it's the school's job to teach them derech eretz. I think it's the generation. I dunno. But by me, I just knew these stuff, it was common sense how to act. Nowadays I'm not so sure. The kids became very self centered and they think their on top of the world and that everything is coming to them. <BR/><BR/>But that definitely is chutzpah the way he responded, I can't believe it. <BR/><BR/>Sorry about you loosing your DS Lite.Jewish Side of Babysitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792110478994916775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-14275228561297456062008-11-17T14:32:00.000-05:002008-11-17T14:32:00.000-05:00No mudslinging outside of a mud-pit! ;-)*ducks*No mudslinging outside of a mud-pit! ;-)<BR/><BR/>*ducks*Ookamikunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-65652759034885627552008-11-17T13:45:00.000-05:002008-11-17T13:45:00.000-05:00Sally,No, I just take exception to people telling ...Sally,<BR/><BR/>No, I just take exception to people telling how I should feel or what I should think.
