    Smart kid and polite kid. My daughter’s 13 and it’s hard to get her to say thank you to a human!

      I think I had a hard time as a kid/teen with saying thanks and then sometime in my late teens/early 20s, after I wasn’t getting reminded all the time, it was like some switch was flipped.

    If I had been in your shoes, it would have taken me a solid ten minutes to figure why the kid’s mom was laughing

    When someone asks if they can pet our dog, we always say it’s up to her. Sure she cannot speak, but always has little body language and many times she’s just not interested or looks uncomfortable or impatient to keep walking.
