Complete boast about my daughter here..

It's a silly thing but she is just recovering from what I think may have been swine flu...
She has been desperate to get home from Uni all weekend for the xmas holidays and I have been trying to get her but the weather has been so awful
So today armed with 3 large bags she made her own way home - two trains and two buses...

She eventually reached our home town at 1230 and decided to get a taxi up the hill ( it is in the Chilterns so very hilly).
She waited ages and eventually one came but just as she was getting in it, a lady arrived with a load of shopping and a baby.

It is bitterly cold so my girl got out of the taxi and offered it to the Mum instead.

This sort of thing makes me proud - daft I know but it shows what a decent human being I have raised.

Sorry - as you were,..

You are right to feel proud Scarlett.
Your story fills me with warmth. Your daughter sounds lovely.

You are right to be proud! They go on about young people today being rude a horrible but not all are like that and your daughter is proof!

If she had swine flu she would have known about it, it's like nothing on earth

Makes up for the two bitches who took my taxi after I'd been waiting in a blizzard for over an hour for a taxi on Saturday. Glad she got home though, my son had to walk over a hour across fields to get a train home from his Uni Saturday

You`re right to feel proud of your daughter Scarlett.
What a lovely lass.

I brought my 2 boys up to consider others - it worked, although it was naturally in their genes.
They`re the type that give up their seat on a bus for someone standing - which my old Mum had me do, but was in my nature anyway, still is. I passed it on - a simple lesson.
Manners and consideration cost nothing. It makes for a nicer world.
Well done little Scarlett.

Thanks guys - sorry I don't normally boast about my kids but this time I thought what the heck!

Karma - she has been really poorly for a couple of weeks and then she had D and V over the weekend so this is what made me wonder..

I think there are loads of lovely youngsters out there - but sadly they do not make the news...
