Writing Prompt: A Call For Manners

In a time when “plz” passes for “please” and “thx” for “thank you,” it’s no wonder that people’s use of manners and etiquette has become, well, abbreviated.

But some things are worth holding on to. (No passing gas at the kitchen table is one off the top of my head, thankyouverymuch.) So I ask, what piece of etiquette will you never forsake? And from where or whom did you learn it?

This could be a tribute to Grandma. A social commentary. A plea for reform. It’s up to you.

We all look forward to reading your work. Simply, e-mail: editor@hopscotchforwomen.com. The deadline is up to you.

    Where wouldn’t I go? If I had to choose only one destination, I would go to Japan. The to do list would include: singing karaoke, eating fresh sushi & sashimi, visiting many temples, and soaking in a culture completely different from my own.

  • I’d love to go back to Washington DC and hit all the places that I missed last time. The American Indian Museum, National Portrait Museum, FDR Monument, Mount Vernon, Arlington and Monticello…just to name a few. I want to indulge my inner history junkie this year.

  • Take me to the Islands…I don’t want anything else. Just the warm sun, sounds of the waves and the beaches. :)
