Many children are not taught to say thank you and I wonder where common courtesy went and when did it go off the cliff? I send things to my grands w/o a thankyou or acknowledgement. Kids push past you in a store, run into you, run through a store, etc and are not corrected. When I volunteered for Red Cross, a woman's home burned down. She was demanding of everyone instead of being humble and grateful for those who helped her. Hard to beleive.
