Q teaching manners to Uncle. |
Manners are important in youngest daughter’s family.
Something she and her husby are trying to instill in their
children.
One of the words they are trying to limit/purge from their
family vocabulary is ‘stupid’.
Their success is…patchy.
Case in point:
Youngest daughter of youngest daughter (hereinafter called Q) was talking to her
mom. At some point in her discourse came the phrase, “Mom is so stupid”.
Wherein, a horrified look crossed her little face and she instantly and loudly
juggled in the word, ‘SILLY’.
Then Q, still obviously dismayed, stared at her mom. She blinked. “Ummm….I don’t know what happened,” she said at last. “My manners fell out of my head!”
Running over to the garbage, she flipped back the lid. “There
they are!”
Learning to be well-mannered isn’t always measurably
successful.
But it sure can be entertaining!
So cute! Makes me want to have toddlers running around the place!...Laurie
