Are there nice teenagers in the world?
After today I am going to say yes. As part of our preparation for the tropical storm that is headed our way, I went to get sandbags for our patio. At the local fire station there was free sand and bags, you just had to fill them yourself. I asked a few people there how many bags I should take for a sliding glass door and they said between 15 to 20. I started to fill my bags alone, and it was quite a job. Once I had 8 bags filled I took them to my car to make room for the people who were arriving. When I got to my car I noticed that two teenage boys who had also been filling their own bags were carrying bags to my car. At first I thought they were helping me with the 8 that I filled, but soon realized that they had stayed to fill the bags I needed. I thanked them and thanked them for being so kind, one of them just said, "You just looked like you needed the help ma'am, I was just being polite." Aside from the whole calling me ma'am thing, I was so thankful for their kindness. It was nice to see that teenagers can still be polite.
