According to a report released by Mom at last Saturday’s dinner party, stop touching the nice lady’s jewelry — she’s our guest.
“Justin, it’s not very kind to touch people’s things without asking,” Mom reminded her rowdy son as he tugged on their neighbors’s gold earrings. “That’s not how we treat guests, okay?”
“How would you like it if I touched your things without your permission?” continued Mom as she confiscated Justin’s Bulbasaur action figure. “See, you wouldn’t like it, would you?”
“Are you ready to apologize to our guest?” Mom asked Justin, who was busy dangling from the lady’s necklace. “I think it might be time for the thinking step, Justin.”
At press time, Mom reported that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
