My 9 y/o had to write an essay describing the person who has been most important in teaching her the difference between right and wrong..... thought I'd share...

"A person I know that has taught me right from wrong is my dad.  He is very smart, positive and he always says to be polite when I go to my friend's house.  Some qualities my dad has are being nice, funny, neat, loving and very happy.  He is also positive, so when I leave the house, my dad says, "make sure you act polite and friendly!"  Those are some things my dad is, too.  He teaches me to always be very positive, polite, friendly and outgoing.  One method is that at Stop and Shop or Shaws, he always says to the cashiers, "Hello Mr. or Mrs. So and So!  We are here to check out our items.  We've got quite a few!"  It really embarrasses me and my sister but it teaches us to be friendly and outgoing.  This makes a big impression on me because he shows me I can make someones day or put a smile on someones face with the little things I do every day."
