DADADEL
I was in my third-grade classroom when our teacher decided it was time to teach us about proper first date manners.
Scanning the room, she asked, “Michael, if you were having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you politely excuse yourself to use the bathroom?”
Michael, looking indifferent, shrugged and said, “I’d just say, ‘Hold on, I need to go pee.’”
The teacher frowned. “That’s not very polite, Michael. Sherman, what would you say?”
Sherman paused for a moment before responding, “I’m sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.”
The teacher nodded slightly. “That’s an improvement, but talking about the bathroom at the table is still inappropriate. Johnny, can you demonstrate how to be truly polite?”
Johnny grinned confidently and said, “I would say: ‘Darling, may I be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a dear friend, and I hope to introduce him to you after dinner.’”
And with that, to everyone’s shock, the teacher fainted on the spot!
That kid deserves an A+! LOL!
