THE FOOTNOTES

I was raking up the front yard this afternoon when a young woman, whom I did not know, and her two young daughters came along. I asked them if they had brought along their rakes. One of the little sweethearts, maybe 7 years old asked, "Would you like some help?" I was very impressed and remarked to the mother, "Those kids are well bred." She replied,"I'm liable to get a swell head." I told her she should.
Maybe there is hope for our youth.
