Please...magic word...

We try to teach our kids to have good manners. Constant reminders and gentle cajoling usually works. Sometimes however, it has unintended consequences...

Alisha: Ibu, nak bread...

Ibu: What's the magic word?

Alisha: ??

Ibu: The magic word is 'please ibu...'

Some time later...

Alisha: Ibu, nak bread...

Ibu: What's the magic word?

Alisha: Please ibu...magic word...

So now, 'magic word' almost always follow the word 'please'...oh well, better than nothing I guess!
