MONROE, Mich. – A 6-year-old boy has shown that you can never be too young to be a proper gentleman.
A picture of Lyle Drummonds posted on his mother's Facebook page on Jan. 1 shows the young boy buying his mom dinner by using his allowance money.
Nikkole Paulun, a former reality TV star on "16 and Pregnant," said in the post that Lyle takes her out on a monthly dinner date where the two talk without the interference of iPads or smartphones.
And paying the bill isn't Lyle's only chivalrous move.
According to Paulun, her son also "pulls out his her chair, talks about his day and asks me how mine was."
"Once a month my 6 year old son takes me out on a dinner date. He opens doors for me, pulls out my chair, talks about his day & asks me how mine was, pays the bill with money he earned by doing chores, and even tips the waiter/waitress. By doing this I am teaching him how to treat a lady & how to take her on a proper date. How to show that he respects the woman he loves (right now that would be mommy.) We put our phone and iPad away (except to take this photo) and sit and talk to each other about our days, thing we want to do, etc. I'm teaching him proper table manners and that it's rude to sit on your phone on a date with your mom or with anyone else. He learns the value of money and how to manage it. He learns how to do math as we add up what we want and make sure we have 15% of it to leave for a tip. Yes he is young but I believe this is something he should learn now. It's never too early to teach your child how to properly respect others, especially women," Paulun wrote.
Drummonds uses the allowance money he earns by doing household chores to pay for the dinner dates.
Paulun, 22, says it's never too early to teach children to be respectful of others, especially woman. A victim of abuse herself, Paulun feels it is important to provide early lessons to Lyle and his 2-month-old sister Ellie.
