I love this ... Politeness as a radical act. There's so much more to it than please and thank you. At our house, we're well into excuse me, now, and working our way into some deep table manners. There's so much more to it than that, even, isn't there?? There's letting other people go through the door first, there's holding the door open for people, there's all sorts of funny little things that make the wheels go round as we get through the day.Friday, 1 October 2010

They are so sweet when they get the hang of politeness. My Gill aways says 'scuse me mama' when she wants something even though she'll continually say it till I pay attention to her. Annoying? sometimes. Sweet? Always :)
