Julia and her parents decided to get seafood after church one recent Sunday. It was a sunny day, so they took a nice long drive to a restaurant on the waterfront. Once there, Julia enjoyed the usual activities of coloring and talking to the people around her.
One by one, crayons hit the floor. "Colors!" Julia entreated, hoping that her Daddy would find her crayons and return them. "Please," Julia's Mommy reminded her. "Pease," Julia replied.
When she tired of coloring, Julia requested by exclamation, "Book!" Again, Julia's Mommy reminded her to say, "Please." "Pease," Julia sighed.
The server brought beverages to the table for everyone and took food orders. Julia was excited because her Daddy ordered soup. Julia loves sharing her Daddy's soup when they go out to eat. "Soup!" she declares, or, "Soupy!" if she is especially delighted with the selection.
Enticed by the smell, Julia's Mommy asked Daddy, "May I taste it?" Julia smile broadly and admonished her mother, "Please!"
Julia's Mommy had no choice but to smile and say, "Please."
