Norah's manners

I thought I did a post about this, but maybe I didn't. I'll type it out again. A few months ago Norah was trying to learn to use her manners. Please note that she always called it "musing" instead of using. I thought that was cute.

  • One day she wanted to watch tv. She screamed at me "Mommy. I want the tv on!" I told her she had to wait a few minutes and she yelled "I want the tv on NOW PLEASE!! I am musing my manners!"
  • At dinner one night I was trying to teach the kids not to put their elbows on the table. I was trying to tell them about table manners. Norah heard the word manners and immediately chimed in "I'll leave my elbows on the day please". According to her as long as you say please you are using your manners.
  • And my personal favorite--- I was telling Mason where to find his shin guards for the soccer game. Norah kept interrupting saying "Mason, Mason, MASON!". I told her she was interrupting and she said "But I'm going to muse my manners." I told her to go ahead and she said in a very polite voice "Mason I really like your balls". She was talking about his soccer balls that were laying by the door. I still laugh every time I think about it.
