Brendan & Lori O'Gara

It’s weird how our interactions with people are mostly just words and photos. I spend so much time conversing with people online with words. A little bit of time virtually. Not as often in person.

I wonder how my children will learn social cues if they aren’t physically around other humans. I wonder how the etiquette of daily life is changing.

We already have conversations with our children about proper and correct manners. For example, the response to “Thank you” is not “No problem”. I know it wasn’t a problem or you would not have done it. The correct answer is “You’re welcome”.

It’s weird what the trends find acceptable. I’m not sure I like where this is going.

Remember that the words you choose to use reflect back to your character and values.
