You know, we've actually been talking about good manners today and what it means to be polite. Do you know why both of those are so important? Absolutely. I'm gonna show you right here at Manners Mania! Let's get ready for dinner! -Before you enter the ring... -Uh-hmm. have question for you. What do you do when you enter someone's home? Do you say, "Hello, Mr. Respect. Thank you for having me," or do you run in and say, "I'm here, give me that cake,"? Well, if someone yelled and jumped into my house and said, "Give me that cake," don't think I'd like how that feels. But if they said, "Thank you for having me," think that would make me feel happy. What do you think? "Give me that cake" seems like bad manners, right? agree. think "Thank you for having me." That is correct! Round one goes to Ms. Tab! Please, join me in the ring. Okay. Allow me. Thank you. Randy Respect! Shall we have seat? Why, yes. Thank you. You know, when you're pulling chair out for friend, -that's being polite. -It's not just polite. It shows respect. Good manners is all about respect. And respect is one of my best moves! Well, Mr. Randy, respect is big word. Could you explain to us what that means? Well, respect is thinking about others as well as yourself. guess that's why they call you Randy Respect. And it's written in my underwear. Now, Ms. Tab, for our next round, what do you say if someone offers you some yummy food? -Oh. -Do you say, "Thank you, I'd love some mash potatoes," or do you say, "Give me these taters, wanna face slam them"? Well, think if someone said, "Give me those taters," and put their face in there, wouldn't like that so much. might even be scared. But if they said please and thank you, think would like how that feels. So would like to say, "May please have some mashed potatoes?" That is correct! Wow! think met my manners match. Mr. Randy, you have lot of mashed potatoes on your face. They make my skin buttery smooth. Okay. This is the hardest round yet. What should you say if someone offers you something you don't wanna eat like this bowl of garbage soup? Should you say, "No, thank you," or should you say, "Hey, soup, it's manners mash up time,"? Well, if someone did this to food that offered them, don't think I'd like that so much. So would like to say "No, thank you, would not like any of your garbage soup." That is correct! If you don't want something, you can always say no, thank you. Although, you'd be turning down some delicious garbage soup. already scarfed down two bowls! Excuse me. have to go to the bathroom. You know, saying excuse me when you have to use the bathroom is also good manners. Atomic hand wash! Whoo! I'm back and better than ever. -Very good. -We've come to the end of our Manners Match. -Okay. -Now one thing, Ms. Tab, for our final round, after delicious dinner, is it better to say, "Thank you for everything, Randy. Goodbye," or do you say, "I'm the champ," and run through wall? I'm the champ! Well, if someone yelled and put hole in my wall, don't think would like that very much, but if they said thank you, that would make me feel happy. All right, Randy, think my final answer is thank you very much. - - That is correct! You did it! You are clearly the new Good Manners Champion of the World! Thank you so much, Randy. know now why having good manners is so important, because it makes the people around us feel happy and respected and it lets them know that we care about how they feel. You're right, Ms. Tab. Now, if you'll excuse me, have another course in good manners to teach. -Oh. -It's crash course! Do you hear that? That's Breezy.

Like right now, I'm feeling happy to be here with you at Story Time. So Lovey is green for happiness. Let's get started. Okay. Today in the garden, Avi burped and discovered it's good manners to say excuse me. And that made me curious about what other good manners look like. And that's why Lovey is orange for curiosity. Later on, we went on special adventure to the magical world of Charm City and saw all kinds of good manners. Then we met Randy Respect, who showed us why good manners are so important. But then at Snack Time, Starla kept interrupting Burnie, which was frustrating for Burnie. That's why Lovey is red for frustration. But then Starla apologized to Burnie and that made me feel proud. You see? Lovey is purple for pride. How do you feel when people use good manners or bad manners? Well, however you feel is the right way to feel because those are your feelings and they matter. You could even feel different feelings all at the same time and that's okay too. That's right, Lovey. We did so much today, discovering how we can have good manners and show respect.
