So that's how it is supposed to work...

Positive peer pressure. Your teachers and parents always thought it existed, but your experience was more of the group punishment nature and you wanted to smack the adult with the great idea, right?

Well, today, down in NC, where all the cousins are staying with my folks, there was positive peer pressure in action.

Mom reports that The Barbarian sassed off at her during breakfast. A, my brother's oldest daughter was *aghast.* She said, "I would never talk to a grown up like that!"

Mom says, after that everybody was suddenly much more polite, with please's and thank you's...
