One of our best opportunities seems to come at dinner time. The kids have a tendency to announce when they don't like something as soon as they come to the table, and Brad is really good about reminding them to thank me for making them a nice dinner.
Most nights, even if they don't like what we're serving, they say thank you.
But tonight, Hannah gave manners a new twist.
Daddy had worked from home, and I was feeling especially sleepy after work. I took a tiny cat nap on the couch before dinner, and he decided to make salmon for the three of them while I planned to eat leftover nachos.
When we sat down to eat dinner, Hannah, in her most polite voice, said, "Thank you, Mommy, for not making dinner and sleeping," without a mean or condescending bone in her body.
She really was trying to be sweet. I think...
