* There were only two people in the New York Subway car. An elderly woman and a young man. They arrived at their common stop and the doors opened. The young man spryly popped out and walked briskly to the exit gate. He stopped there and held it open for the lady as she ambled along. When she got there she thanked him for his kindness and said, “I am not used to such good manners in New York City.” The young man tipped his ball cap and explained, “You will have to forgive me, but I am from out of town myself and I did not know any better.”
When my son Christopher was 10 years old, he asked me to help with a classroom assignment he was given. “I have to make a list of the things that had not yet been invented when you were 10”, he said pencil poised over paper. “Well, for starters, the wheel”, I replied waiting patiently for the laugh that never came. I felt even worse when he wrote it down. “Okay, the wheel,” he said. “What else?”
