I know nothing about the above book, just thought it was appropriate. Guess I don't even need to buy it!!
The other day at dinner I did the gregarious belch. What?! It was good food that I made, for a change, and I was proud of myself. I made my fair share of dinners for the month... The society we live in... I swear!
Before I even have more than a split second to think, the following conversation takes place...
Let me state the obvious here... (M= mom and D= daughter)
M- Belch!
D- Excuse you mommy!!
M- Thank you Em, my daughter's nick name.
D- Your welcome!
M- Can you give mommy the chance to say it next time?
D- Yes.
M- Thank you.
D- Your welcome.
As a parent I am a huge stickler about manners. It is very important that our children today respect their elders. I guess I have done a good job teaching my child as she now recognizes that you must excuse yourself... And, I must add... the bathroom is NO exception!
What a great compliment!
