What?

You know when we are growing up,our parents teach us little things that we carry through our whole lives.They teach us that we should pray before we eat our meals,that we should not talk to strangers,that we should listen to our elders,they teach us to be polite blah,blah.blah(as maureen big brother would say)but why is it that when we grow up,we forget many of these so necessary lessons?
I was in aline the other day
ok i had started this out with a totally different story in mind but this has literally pinched me in the bum.Theres this oh so rude girl who stays a floor above me,she never has a good response for anyone and when she does,its for a very strange reason,believe me on that!
Obviously her parents didn't teach her how to be polite.Even if she wasnt tought,with the eating of the fruit by EVE and her mate ADAM came the 'gift' of discernment,is that the word?ok,ability to know what is wrong and right.She however has not benefited from this sin that has brought us all alot of suffering(had a silly pregnancy scare last week,it wouldnt have been so bad if it wasnt for those two love birds afore mentioned)
Where was i?yeah,the rude girl upstairs.
I mean if the sin cost us all so much,we should all try to atleast learn some good out of it.I dont know,maybe use that"all knowingness"to be nicer to some people.
Im probablly being overly sensitive but when you ask someone a question like say,where is the toilet?You expect an answer like,"down the stairs behind the big poster on the left hand side of...whatever or maybe ,"on your right",or even" i dont know".What you do not expect however is "why cant you go and look for them yourself?" THAT, is just insane.
sure we must forget some of those childhood tales our parents spun so beautifully,like mummy and daddy are such good friends thats why they sleep in the same bed.yeah.like babies come from the hospital,hold on,they come from the hospital because mom's stomach gets cut off because its too big and the doc gives her a baby for it...Now,that naivite,we gotta let go of but we should hold on to the simple nimble politeness.
"why cant you go look for them yourself"what do you think im trying to do b****!
