Do We REALLY Need to Teach Teens How to Beg?

I was actually quite incensed to read this article from the St. Pete Times that gives a Top Ten List for How to Get What You Want From Mom and Dad. Really....did you never see Leave It to Beaver? Eddie was a master at this kind of ploy.

Buried underneath this how to article though is a list of appropriate manners for teens. Maybe I'll cut it out and save for about five years from now when they become ingrates.
