Wow, Where Are The Manners?

Here's a low-down on the situation: Last night I was interrupted by my neighbour who brought back a roll of paper towels I let him borrow. This neighbour also has a 5 (or 6?) year old kid. I don't know them well, only said hello to the dad a few times in the hall. So he decides to invite himself in to see the apartment (and the water leakage problems).

Then, out of nowhere.... His kid runs into my place and into my living room. He starts touching EVERYTHING, including my computer. At this point I'm pretty stunned, and try to shadow the kid so he doesn't break anything. All the while I have to talk to his father, although it is easy to see I'm distracted with him opening my laptop or browsing my CD collection. The worst part was when he then decided to open my fridge and started browsing through it!

The above image depicts a fictional re-enactment of the scene.

When I finally ushered the two of them out of the place I was left bewildered. How can a child be so devoid of manners, and how can a father stand idly by as his son looks through my fridge all the while telling me (a total stranger) he is hungry. All I can say is "wow".
