Emma is pretty good at the whole manners thing. Saying “thank you” and “please” come fairly naturally to her (most of the time). She is also known to say sweet things like, “I’m glad you are my Mommy,” and “Grandma, you look especially beautiful today.”

However, she really hit the mark yesterday with her Daddy. After dinner, he was clearing off the table, and Emma says to him:

“Daddy, would you like a beer?”

Nice.

Even better? She then goes outside to the cooler and gets him one. I swear the pride was oozing out of his ears.

Then she got mad when Grandpa didn’t want one. How rude that he would turn down her nice request! Jeff, on the other hand, was more than willing to accept and drink his beer, all for the sake (cough, cough) of his little girl.

Now we know where those good manners come from…
