Manner Tips
Mouth Manners Rule # 20
June Hines Moore
Rule:Good mouth manners should include good clean humor. Reason:Good humor takes some of the edge out of an otherwise dreary day, if it is not at someone?s expense. Application:At the dinner table or in the family car, ask each child if they know a funny story. Perhaps, they heard it on the radio or read it in a book. Tell the family that jokes that are unclean or unkind to others will not be heard. Funny story: A little boy?s family needed money so he wrote God a letter asking for $100. The letter was sent to the dead letter file in Washington, D.C., where a postal worker read it, felt compassion, and sent a $5.00 bill to the return address. When the little boy got the letter, he thanked God, but asked Him not to send it through Washington next time because they kept $95 out of the $100 he was sure God had sent.
