"Young lady, that is not proper! Where are your manners?". Why does it matter? I would think after being scolded for having my elbows on the table, not crossing my legs (whether in a skirt or not), or possibly making fart jokes. Does anybody even care, except for my grandmother? What I did not know at the time was that these small chidings were the slow steps of society molding me into their perception of proper.
