I go through all the Malcolmisms that my Dad has passed onto me througout my life, and try to figure out how they can help me as I take on this new Fatherhood Role myself, or something like that...

Yes Please, Thank You and Excuse Me...
Are we as polite as we should be? I was thinking about this alot recently, but it was really brought to my mind on Saturday Night at the Bulk Barn - I was browsing candy (Mike and Ike's I think) and this guy bumped into me, I'm not a huge guy, but I would hope that someone would notice if they ran into me, this guy didn't seem to, I of course was very quick with an "Excuse Me" - he hardly looked at me, anyways that bothered me, but I got over it, maybe he was just a rude guy - whatever, I still got to eat candy.
I was hard wired early on that you should hold doors, say the magic word (Contrary to popular belief it isn't "Now") and thank people that do nice things for you like let you go at a crosswalk or let you merge into traffic during the 15 minutes of rush hour we have in Fredericton.
I think we should all make an effort everyday to be nice, to do nice things and be polite about them - maybe at the end of the day it will catch on again and we will all deserve to eat candy...
