The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they allow disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children now are tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
Socrates - Greek philosopher in Athens (469 BC - 399 BC)
Looks like things haven't changed much in about 2,400 years...

Good quote. I mean, really. What can you do with a kid once she starts crossing her legs?!? It's all lost by then!
