We, the parents of our children, try our best to encourage our daughter to say "Please" and "Thank you" at every opportunity.
This evening I listened to Gwendolyn act out little scenes in the bathtub with her rubber ducks. One repeating story line was a duck asking another duck for a hot dog.
"Can I have a hock-dock please?"
"Yes. Here yuh go."
"OK. Tank you."
"Can I have kezhup please?"
"Oh, ketchup. Here yuh go."
"OK. Tank you."
Among broad smiles of amusement I thought, Perhaps some of what we're doing is actually sticking.
