A customer and his six or seven year old son came in today. The boy at once made a beeline to where the candies were. His father called him to come to the counter. The boy did not listen. The father ran to him, took him by one ear and pulled him all the way to the counter. I went next to the father and said in his ear: now you do this to this child and he is going to do the same to his children and possibly to you when you are too old and frail. Be a good teacher and love him and kiss him so he will do the same to his children and possibly to you when you are old and frail.

He walked out of the store without buying anything, dragging the child behind him. Some people do not learn.
