During a lesson on manners, a teacher asked her students how they would excuse themselves to go to the bathroom during a dinner date. She began with Michael, who bluntly said, “Just a minute, I have to go pee.” The teacher corrected him, pointing out that this was impolite.
Turning to another student, Sherman, she asked the same question. He replied, “I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.” The teacher noted that while Sherman’s response was better, mentioning the bathroom at the dinner table was still not ideal.
Finally, the teacher asked Little Johnny, known for his clever but cheeky responses, to show if he could use his manners. Johnny confidently answered, “I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, who I hope to introduce you to after dinner.” Johnny’s creative and humorous reply brought a mix of shock and amusement, highlighting his unique take on displaying good manners.
