over-all, it really depends upon the situation...
I will just share though, that when I was coming-up that we were taught, not only at home,
but also in school and church that no matter where we were, alone or with super-vision, that
we were to be ladies and gentlemen and respect all of those around us,,,,
in the process of growing-up, I must confess that I, at times was rude, obnoxious and very
'silly-acting' with my friends...but, as I matured I became very aware of others feelings and
how my questionable behavior affected them...long storyshort, because I did love the Lord, He eventually
convicted me of my youthful foolishness and it also gave me understanding of that need I had to express
my pent-up childish emotions -
through my experience, I have been able to explain myself and my actionsto many who have crossed my path....
whether young or old!

I remember one time when an acquaintance said something that I thought was very rude, but I could tell that she hadn't even thought about it in that light...she was simply too self-involved to think how it would sound to me. I turned to my sister and quoted a line from a book that had a thin relevance to the conversation. The acquaintance thought I had said something, but because of the context of the book my sister heard me as saying something totally different. Oh...dear. I shall never forget the girl's innocent, somewhat confused smile, while my sister is biting her tongue bloody so she doesn't laugh. It was perhaps not the time when I've shown the most Christian love, but I shall always remember it as a way of being a *little* rude in return without the dear girl having the faintest clue.
