To the Manners Born
Conversation overheard on the drive in to preschool the other day:
"Arp! ... Arp! ... Arp!"
"Jonah, you have to use your words. If you want a bite of my apple, you'll have to say please."
(pause)
"Peeze Noah."
"OK, Jonah, here you go."
"Kank ooo."
"You're welcome, Jonah."
You'll recall, of course, that Noah is just turing four this week, and Jonah is almost 18 months old. Do we have amazingly polite kids or what?!
