Recently I was in a restaurant and observed a mother with three young children sitting within earshot. It was quite obvious she was a single mom and her children were polite, quiet as well as courteous to the waitress. As I was leaving, I approached the mom and apologized if she thought I may have been eavesdropping. "I want to applaud you as a mom. It was a pleasure to have dinner next to your family. You should be very proud at how well behaved and polite your children are." She agreed that she was very proud of them and thanked me for making her day.
