Wonderful insights Libby. Cal really becomes a mentor and teacher to Trey. I think children learn the majority of their manners, etiquette and morals from the adults around them. I remember how my mother had a strict rule of no elbows on the table when dining. Some people might think that an odd thing to enforce but for my mother elbows on the table was disrespectful and bad manners. It was something she learned from her parents, and then handed down. So manners and morals are also generational.
