A woman’s post about seven 6th graders has created quite a stir online and for all the right reasons. It’s the act of the seven young boys which has “restored” the woman’s “faith in the future generations.” There’s a chance that the story will warm up your heart too.
“Today my faith in future generations was restored!!” wrote Nicole Marie on Facebook who works as a waitress in a Michigan restaurant. She then added that during one of her shifts seven sixth graders told her that they wanted to order wings. They also asked, if the amount they have is enough to “cover 40 wings and pops.”
“I looked around confused- wondering where their parents were. I asked if they were alone and they said yes and we’ve been looking forward to this for weeks!” recalled Marie in her post. Then added that the boys were “extremely polite” during the entire conversation. They also kept on “using please and thank you” and promised to “tip her [Marie] well.”
“One of the boys even told his friend to get off the phone when I was talking to them! It was so heartwarming to see how much they were trying, especially when there were no parents around to scold them if they weren’t on their best behaviour,” Marie wrote showcasing the extent of their polite behaviour.
In fact, it turns out, their neighbouring customer was so impressed by the boys’ behaviour that they paid for their food and asked the young ones to “pay it forward.”
