Well done, friend! These days, not many adults would score as well as you on this test. I’m not going to say good manners are hard to find but there’s definitely a portion of the population who don’t value courtesy as much as you and I do. Thank you for being one of the kind ones and I hope you’re passing your knowledge down to all the young people in your life!
