ITS VERY HUMBLING NOW, WHEN I MEET ANNASA FRENDS THEY ALL PUT MY HAND TOO THERE HEAD AND BOW TO ME ME.. AND HER BROTHER DID THE SAME.......................IM SO HUMBLED AND HOUNERD TO MEET THEM.

Yes the traditional "Blessing" showing respect to their elders.

I remember Mama's house during the day, she used to look after the smaller grandchildren, and also some neighbours children as well. On one school holiday she had more than thirty of them in her house.

Yes a sign of respect. Do children in the UK even know how to spell respect?
