So I was walking into a local department store today, and there was an older gentleman in front of me. As he opened the door to enter the store, I was digging in my purse for my cell phone while not paying a bit of attention. I assumed (incorrectly) that this gentleman would hold the door for me. However, I was wrong, and I basically ran head first into the door. Seriously?
To say that I am "old-fashion" is ridiculously far-fetched. On the other hand, I am a southern girl who appreciates the small things. I do not need car doors to be opened/closed, nor do I demand that meals always be paid for by males. However, I'm a huge fan of chivalry in the form of door opening. In other words, doors NOT slamming in my face.
I pride myself in passing this characteristic on to my 8th grade boys I teach. The only reason they do it is because I tell them that it impresses girls. Now that we're approaching the end of the year I LOVE seeing them be gentleman. Doing my small part to keep chivalry alive.
