Why do so many adults demand that their children always say “please” when they ask for something from the adults, but they have a really hard time saying please to the kids. Politeness should work both ways.
I remember one time, when I was about 12 years old, that I was in school, and on my way out to recess, I walked between two teachers that stood there talking to each other. They stood in the doorway, so I couldn’t get out of the classroom without walking between them. When I did, one of the teachers said “What do you say when you walk between two adults?” I, of course, said “excuse me”, and went on my way, but I’ve thought many times since, what would have been the teacher’s reaction if I’d answered “what do you say when you walk between two kids?”
