[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are some little things that I notice:

(1) When someone walks in a room and you're sitting down, you stand up to greet them.

(2) When you are taking a food item (even a cookie off of a plate) at a school or work function, you use tongs.  (You don't just touch the cookie directly.)

(3) You eat slowly and take small bites.

[b](4) You have a lot of emotional intelligence -- greet people warmly, show a genuine interest in people, ask questions, etc.[/b]

(5) You have good orthodontics and take good care of your teeth.

(6) [b]You do not lick your fingers when eating.[/b]

(7) Here's one that I'm having a had time teaching my kids -- When eating something with your hands (like a sandwich, burger, or pizza), you put the item down between bites and wipe your mouth with a napkin.  You do not hold the food item continuously until you're done with it.  And after wiping your mouth, you would ideally ask your dinner companion a question about their day or something of interest to them.  Then, while listening to their answer, you can pick up the food item and continue eating it.[/quote]

Being warm and asking a lot of questions to show interest has nothing to do with income.  In fact, many of the lower income children I know are far more polite than the spoiled richer ones who don't take their nose out of their ipads.[/quote]
