Pop quiz: Your friend’s mom is working away in the kitchen when you

enter their house. You’re a girl with good manners, so the next thing

you do is

a. greet her.

b. walk on by as if she were a floor lamp.

Yes, friends, the answer is a.

For reasons scientists have yet to discover, some kids think certain

adults are invisible. Not so! Parents enjoy a friendly hello and a big

smile as much as you do. So make it a point to greet the adults who

cross your path. Use those tried-and-true words “please” and

“thank you.” Ask these people a question or two about their day,

and take a moment or two to answer the questions they ask you.

You may be surprised how much you enjoy it.
