My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time.We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please,thank you ,pardon me,and Im sorry.And I have to say,while it was a painful learning experience,it was one of the most valuable. I cant tell you how often I sat with my friends,eating at their dinner tables,and their parents thought highly of my good manners.While it was a little embarrassing.I knew even then that my mothers teachings were paying off. Many years later,when I was attending seminars across the country,my manners were quite useful. While I regret that I havent been a perfect example,Im still working on it.I suppose,in this regard,my mother lives on through me,I didnt have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes,but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics. 56.What did the writers friend most probably complain about?
