Hey! That Man Didn't Say Thank You!

Groovy: My five-year son, Joseph, is the unofficial polite police. We were in the ice cream store the other day and a very well-dressed gentleman came in by himself and ordered an ice cream cone. He was rather abrupt, paid, and proceeded to walk out the door. "Hey, that man didn't say thank you! Hey, mister, come back and say thank you!" commanded Joseph, pointing at the man. Startled, the man turned to me and said "Your boy is quite rude". I don't think so, pal. In fact, you are officially gauche (see below).

Gauche: The man in the ice cream store...touche!
