Chase, you're the man!!

A few weeks ago our neighbor, Fran Walton, came to the door with a card and two cartons of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. She then asked for Chase. When Chase came to the door she proceeded to thank him for being such a gentleman to her and her daughter, Clara. She was bringing the ice cream over as a thank you gift. She then laughed and said, "I can tell by the confused look on your face that you have no idea what I'm talking about."

She then proceeded to remind him of a few weeks earlier, when he opened the door for her and Clara at church. She said that she noticed that he came back to do it and put a little extra thought and effort into it. (It wasn't a case of him being there already.) She was very impressed by his thoughtfulness and wanted to thank him for his gentlemanly act. He thanked her graciously and while beaming said, "That's what my Uncle Paul said to do to get all the girls. They love stuff like that." Thanks Uncle Paul! I guess "you're the man" too. lol

Here's the note. It's great.

p.s. That same day we were at church and Fran's husband, Gary, opened the door for me.
I exclaimed to Fran, "Hey Fran, Gary just opened the door for me and he's an old man!"
Gary then said, "I've been Fran trained."

Way to go Chase! I too have been impressed by your thoughtful ways. You're just turning into a fine young man. All the girls will LOVE that...as Paul put it. But you didn't need Uncle Paul to tell you that--you've got it down already.

Amen to what Shannon said, Chase. It's true! You are, by nature as well as good training and example, a "GENTLEMAN."
