Southern Manners...

Since I was raised in the south, I grew up knowing those manners. I have tried very hard to instill those manners in each of my kids. And I have had positive feed back for doing so. Well, this morning my baby girl showed her manners, and I was shocked! She is not yet 2 and as I was putting laundry in the washer (she was helping me of course!) Abbey burped, she looked up at me and said "excuse me," a few seconds later she started having a tickle in her throat and she cupped her mouth with her elbow and finished coughing. I then got a video of her saying excuse me, it is the cutest thing I've heard! I am proud to have lived in a place that yes mam, please and thank you's are of value; something I think is going on the way side. I'm just grateful my kids have manners!
