No thank you

 Funny Friday

Chris and I try as much as we can to teach our children to be polite. And as many of you know, saying please, thank you and sorry is one of the hardest things to train a child. Yes, because we are all born sinners and as the bible says – Folly is bound up in the heart of a child-Proverbs 22:25 .

So, we thank God that our kids are slowly caching up- but sometimes it gets to the extreme.

We have trained them to say "No Thank You" in case they are not interested in an offer (mostly food)

A typical conversation will go like this;

Mum: Tana, you want some banana

Tana: No thank you Mum.

Mum: Okay

So this week, we were faced with another version of No thank you from Tana.

The conversation went like this;

Dad: Tana

Dad: Tana, I am calling you (adding some volume)

Dad: Tana, Come here (adding more volume)

Tana: No thank you Dad

Dad Faints!

Okay-she was so polite- yes she was not interested in that offer, but this one does not require that sort of Politeness!

We are now back to the drawing board

Have a fun-filled weekend!
