Can I get a big, “THANK YOU?” I’d like to start the New Year on a positive note since I’m a person who always looks at the “glass half full.”
Over the years, I have routinely shared my experience as a youth. Growing up, my mother taught me to always say please and thank you. She never taught me which side of the dish the knife, fork, and spoon went, which seems to be very important to some people, moreso than saying, “please and thank you.” In fact, in my unofficial survey of the two topics, I have found that people concerned with table place settings are more inclined to not say “please and thank you”… but don’t quote me on this.
