“It starts when you begin to overlook bad manners. Any time you quit hearin’ ‘sir’ and ‘mam’ the end is pretty much in sight… The old people I talk to, if you could of told em that there would be people on the streets of our Texas towns with green hair and bones in their noses speakin’ a language they couldn’t even understand, well, they just flat out wouldn’t of believed you. But what if you’d of told em it was their own grandchildren?”

When children have less they are more grateful for what they receive. I believe it is important to let them know they are not owed a gift unless they paid for it themselves.
