Annie has a step stool up to the bed in our room. She was done watching "Hanny Manny" this morning, and wanted to get to it to get down and go eat breakfast.
"Mom. Move."
"Annie, say please."
"Please move."
"OK. Thank you for being polite."
"It's a magic word, you know," very matter-of-factly.
"That's right, please is a magic word."
Mildly condescendingly, "No, not please Mom. Move."
That's one I didn't know about. She's constantly teaching me new things!

kid: can I have that *fill in the blank*?
mom/dad: what's the magic word?
kid: gimme!
LOL Don't tell my girls about that one! :-)
