Impressive

I am always annoyed at the behavior of many parents I observe in public. I've seen a parents at restaurants with a child, and all the parent does is talk on their cell phone the entire time. Nice quality time, eh?. Then there are the parents that completely ignore their children. Then you wonder why they scream in the store. Hello! They need a little attention, after all, you brought them with you.

I know I'm not a parent, and I'm pretty skeptical of others... Don't get me wrong, I see plenty of decent parents too. I'm just talking in general. It just touched me yesterday when I saw a father and about 10 year-old son walking into the store. They were having a nice conversation. An elderly gentleman was having trouble with what appeared to be a new car with the car alarm going off. The father stopped over to help him turn it off. He showed his son how to be kind and helpful to people. Later I came across them again in the store, still having a conversation.

I was impressed. Kudos to that dad!
