Kids today, patient and polite

Recently we had three of our grandkids for several days. They asked to go to the Noelridge pool to go on the slides. One evening I took them, deciding to participate with them. Being 67 with bad knees, I did not get up the steps very quickly. When going up the steps, I was pleasantly surprised to notice the line of kids climbing patiently behind us instead of rushing around us. When I told them to go ahead they politely said thank you & took off! This happened all four times I went up the stairs. Congratulations to these kids and their parents.
