Imagine you’re on a date with a nice young lady. Everything is going well, and then nature calls. How do you excuse yourself without ruining the mood? Let’s take a look at how some kids answered this question.

• Michael said: “Just a minute, I have to go pee.” The teacher explained that it would be rude and impolite to say it so directly.

• Sherman said: “I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.” This response was better, but still not very nice to say at the dinner table.

• And then there’s little Johnny, who impresses us all with his good manners. His response was, “Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, who I hope to introduce you to after dinner.”

Johnny’s answer shows how important it is to use polite language, especially when dining with someone special. It’s all about being respectful and considerate of your partner’s feelings.

So remember, when nature calls on a date, choose your words wisely. You’ll impress your partner with your good manners and leave a lasting impression.
