Dolittle’s Rules of Courtesy

When the kids go spend the night at friends’ houses, I always like to give them a brief reminder about basic houseguest courtesy. Please, thank you, offering to be helpful, etc.

So today, Dolittle was getting ready to spend the night at a friend’s house. Here’s how the first part of that conversation went:

Me: Please remember to be a courteous houseguest while you’re at Ellie’s house. Now, what do I mean by that?

Dolittle: Umm . . . be polite?

Me: Yes, which means always say . . . 

Dolittle: Please and thank you.

Me: Right. And . . . what else?

Dolittle: Fart in the other room.


Good to know we’ve got those basics down. 🙂
