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.

It’s almost summmm-er. It’s almost summmm-er. It’s almost summmm-er. Finally.

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer and I want to know what everyone is up to this season of sun. Extended vacation plans? Weekend getaways? Day trips? Staycations?

What about goals? Is there anything you’d like to have accomplished by summer’s end? (Oh, let’s not think about that just yet.)

Let us know what you are looking forward to most.
