1) "A boy may enter a revolving door first to get it started. A girl enters first if it's already moving." (apparently I made the part up about not sharing a "section" but I am SURE I read it somewhere!)
2) the person who called should say goodbye first. "Ending the call isn't only their option, but their responsibility." If you REALLY need to go, then you should politely end the conversation. Interesting.
3) "When someone makes a remark, even 'I see what you mean' or 'hmmm' is better than complete silence. With kids, not responding is an innocent omission, but it's good not to get into the habit." VERY interesting. (see pet peeves post)
Tune in next Monday for another Manners Moment!

(c:
that was me not responding to you when you said something to me. hehe. i like those. especially the one about the revolving door is interesting.
My husband forgets the responding when someone says something but he's been shocked when I have received a phone call and later said I had to go, he felt like I couldn't/shouldn't do that because I am not the one that made the phone call. I couldn't believe he thought such a thing but looky there, it is after all "good manners."
Yay! I need these... I'm cllueless as to what's "proper" haha! Very interesting facts there!
never knew about the phone call thing. Or the revolving door. interesting. give me more miss manners.
