Ouch! Don’t Kids Today Know Anything?

By Reg Green

     The owner of a small but always busy business in New York’s garment district told me the other day that 10 years ago, with some misgiving but as a favor, he gave his nephew a job. “Every day since then that boy has arrived on the dot of 8 o’clock. Every day.”  he said. “Don’t you think that for once he could be a few minutes early?”

PS Okay, so you’ve heard it before. But maybe the children haven’t.
