what to say

if you want

something from

an adult

When talking with grown-ups, it’s best to stick to the facts. Speak clearly

(no mumbling!), be respectful, and state exactly what you need.

If the restaurant gets

your order wrong:

Excuse me, ma’am. I ordered

the chicken and this is beef.

If the man at the movie

concession stand looks

scary, but you want to order:

I’d like a small popcorn

and a lemonade, please.

If you want to write a

paper for class about

your neighbor’s career:

Ms. Bello, I have

a school project on careers,

and I was hoping I could ask you

a few questions about your job.

What would be a good time?

If a teacher says, “I need

a strong boy to carry this

box,” and you want to help:

How about

a strong girl? I’m

willing to help out.
