re: #271 MandyManners

I’m new here so I don’t want to get too controversial, but when my oldest daughter was 11 (1993) she brought home a blue ribbon in some sporting event. I was proud and praised her for it. She said, ” It doesn’t mean anything, everyone got one.” It was some kind of Scandinavian thing according to the back of the ribbon. It did not elevate her self-esteem.
