Manners 101

TJ's birthday is in December, so we were preparing for his family party.  In anticipation of a variety of gifts, some which might be clothes, and TJs love for things other than clothes, I decided we should do a little coaching.

Mommy: "TJ what do we say when someone gives us a present?"
TJ:  "Thank you," he answers proudly
Mommy: "Good.  And TJ, what if you don't really like the present, then what do you say to someone who gives you a present you don't like as much?"  I ask tentatively
TJ: "You say, 'No Thank You.' Mommy, because you don't want it."

Not quite buddy, let's just be glad there were no, 'No Thank You's' that night.
