Little Gentleman

Had to document my boy becoming a gentleman.

Jacob bought an airsoft gun a couple of days ago and it wasn't working right.  He planned to get together with the kids in the neighborhood this afternoon and was in a big hurry to get to the store to exchange his gun for a new one.  He hustled right up to the Customer Service area with Millie and I dragging a little behind.  A woman approached the line around the same time Jacob was getting there and he immediately said in a clear gracious voice, "You can go ahead of me!"

I am so very impressed with how he handled himself while in a hurry and without me even really there yet.  Way to go Jacob!

And then a funny tidbit:  As we were driving home I snagged my nail and it ripped halfway.

Me:  "Whoa Jacob, check this out."

Jacob glances and shudders and says while kind of laughing: "I know you're divorced now and don't have a man to show that kind of stuff to, but you don't need to use me as a substitute!"

Hahaha!  As if I keep a man around to show disgusting stuff to!

Jacob, I too am very impressed. I can only imagine how excited and anxious you were to exchange guns but showing restraint in favor of being a polite shows real character. Well done.

The punch line at the end of the post prompted a belly laugh.
