  • Who the Heck is Kayewer?
  • In Praise of the American Teenager (and Adults)

    I was in the bagel joint this morning when I witnessed something extraordinarily rare and wonderful: a young man thanked the preparer of his breakfast sandwich and wished them a good day, and when his passing through the queue caused an overhead sign to swing, a woman in line raised her hand and stopped it.

    On an ordinary day, any other kid would never raise his eyes from the ground or speak, and a woman would back away from a swinging sign.  This was a positive experience.

    I felt so good seeing such things, I left my change as a tip for the bagel staff.

    Things should happen like today more often.

      I personally question the reason why you labeled this posting, “In Praise of the American Teenager (and Adults)
      Kayewers Weblog”. Anyway I personally appreciated the article!
      Many thanks,Rayford
