Leaving my house to collect the mail, I walked past a kid from the neighborhood who was on his way home from school. Standard issue teenager - baseball cap, headphones, backpack, and baggy jeans. Too be honest, I didnt expect much in the way of conversation. And yet, we engaged in a brief, but oddly revealing, exchange:
- Teenager: "Hi...how are you?"
- Surprised homeowner: "Good. And yourself?"
- Teenager: "Fine, thanks. How are you liking the neighborhood?"
- Surprised homeowner (after falling to the ground in amazement): "It's great, thank you."
Where else in the world do teenagers have such polite conversations?
