We Honor the Veterans

We took our children to the local court house for the Veterans' Day observance. I threatened my class if they misbehaved or embarrassed their parents. I explained how important the day was for all those who had fought in the wars and how upset they would be if we talked out, etc. The veterans would think us to be rude. Well, our students were very well behaved. It was the veterans who talked out and loudly. Several of my students remarked quietly to me that the people were being very noisy. So maybe my kids do listen to me. Especially when followed with a stern threat. Just like parenting.
