Sense of dignity

We went to fruits stand to buy fruits (of course!). Cherry was available. The man offered Daichi cherry to try. He didn't like it, he said it was too sour. He spat out seed and hold onto the stem. He asked the man, "where can I throw those away?" The man took in his hands and threw them away.

He said to my son, "I like your sense of dignity, you didn't just throw on the street. I appreciate it."

In my culture, it's such a usual behavior but I realized people in NYC are not that mindful. It's filled with garbage. Something to think about and something to appreciate about my son.
