Be nice to elders....

It is very dangerous to criticise other people's parents, even if it is going to be an implied criticism, and especially when such parents are your own parents' contemporaries. Some of them can borrow guts to talk and it may not be so favourable.

Once upon a time, there was this kid that had this misguided attitude of rebuking elders, just for the heck of it. One day, these old men were at their spot minding their own business, the arrogant kid pulled over, and because they knew they were about to hear another harsh criticism, one of them thought enough was enough, and before the kid could finish saying "you people," the old man retorted: "Whoa, kid! Not today. You see, we may not be as great as your dad that left you a fortune to inherit, but we're honourable people."

Then there was deafening silence, everyone wondering what the old man was about to say. The kid was like: "go on, what do you know?" The old man pointing to his friends said: "at least none of us here was ever foolish enough to sleep with, let alone impregnate his own daughter." He then added: "kid, maybe you should ask your mom who the father of your sister's son is."
