Be Polite
Published Apr 29, 2003
Like all growing boys, my teenage grandson Jermon was constantly hungry, I went to the 'fridge to find something he might like.
After poking around a bit and moving the milk and juice cartons, I spotted a bowl of leftover chili. "Hey, Jermon," I called out excitedly.
He came running into the kitchen.
"Look! I found some chili."
Struggling to be polite, he said, "If you're that surprised, I'm not really sure I want it."
