Glad to see your raising your sons to be gentlemen. The world needs more of those! My parents are big on table manners. I remember being the recipient of many "Elbows elbows on the table, stand up and say you're sorry" when I was little but it worked! I hate it when people say "but that's so old fashioned" when talking about manners. No, it's just common decency! When I read your bit about posture, though, I straightened up in my chair. That's something I still need to work on (and my mom's biggest pet peeve, although I'm not as bad as my sisters)!
