The Real Reason You Should never, Never, NEVER Forget to Say Please and Thank You.

Grownups are always asking "What's the magic word?" and "Did you say Thank you?" I asked my teacher why we need to say please and thank you for everything and she said cuz it's the polite thing to do. Humph! That just can't be all there is to it. After all if please is a magic word, then there must be a secret behind it, right?

Well leave it to me, Brynndolynn Brown, the Super Spy for the Real Reasons Why to figure it out. It took me a little bit, but I did find out and believe me, you'll never, Never, NEVER forget to say please and thank you after you know what I discovered.

The adults all slipped up when they let us kids know that please is a magic word. Well it turns out that there is a little Politeness Troll that follows you around where ever you go. Its job is to keep track of how many times you say please and thank you. You can't see the troll of course, because it's invisible and can run really fast. The important thing though is that it counts every single time you say please and thank you, but only if you mean it. Then when you get really, really old, like twenty, if you have said please and thank you enough times you will get the Book of Adult Secrets!

The book is really, super cool and let's you in on all kinds of secret. Like how to stay up past midnight without falling asleep. How to drive a car and with only one hand on the steering wheel. How to pull quarters out of your ears. And the one I wanna know most of all, how to see through walls. My Mom uses that one all the time on me. At bed time if I'm trying to read, even when my door is closed and I'm being really quiet, she'll yell at me "Brynndolynn Brown, put that book down and go to sleep right now!"

I'm not sure how many times you have say please and thank you by the time you're twenty, but I think it's something like a gajillion. And those trolls are smart and will only count it when you mean it, not if you just sit there and say please fifty times in a row. So, if you're like me and want the Book of Adult Secrets when you grow up, then you'll never, Never, NEVER forget to say please and thank you.
