Overheard at our house

Relia: (guiding me to the couch) Sit down!
Me: On the couch?
Relia: Yes.
Me: (trying to instill politeness) What do you say?
Relia: Yes!

The FP Gal sat on the other side of the couch and laughed and laughed. On the third try she finally said, "Please".

I love that she said Yes instead of Please. It will serve her well.

OMG!! This has got to be one of my favorites. Made me laugh.

She needs to watch that old Planet of the Apes movie, where the humans all said "DO!" and "NO!", and hit the apes with sticks to emphasize their points. Perfect politeness training material!
