There are certain things you never imagine yourself saying.

“I just got a worm in my eye!” is one of them. And yet I did say it—I screamed it, actually.

The family was all here, and we were in the garden when I saw a worm nearby. I asked my 6-year-old grandson to come over and remove the worm. He picked up the worm, studied it quickly and then threw it into the ________.

The worm quickly fell back to earth, landing on my face ________ my left eyelid. That’s when the screaming and the jumping up and down started.

You know how they say when you meet a small creature? The small creature is just as ________ you as you are of it? They lie.

The worm showed no fear. I, however, am still having nightmares about the ________, which was several days ago.

The most important thing in all this is that my grandson said he was sorry to me.

I’d just been reading a book that makes a connection ________ adults doing the slow and hard work of teaching manners to children and greater levels of civility in society.

Table manners, language manners and even manners in dress all show levels of self-control.

Having self-control ________ what we say and how we behave, making many of us appear a good deal better than we really are.

Good manners also have the possibility to make mealtime a pleasant time, even with small children.

All of my grandchildren, except the ones who can’t yet talk, ask to be ________ before leaving the table.

It is a sign of respect for others at the table and a sign of respect for the meal ________. It’s also more pleasant than pushing one’s chair back and running for the back yard.

Those tall enough, and even those not tall enough, also take their ________ to the kitchen.

Manners are what civilize us—around our tables and in our families, homes and ________.

So when a little boy has the courage to apologize to a grandma who is screaming and jumping up and down, at least we know that our years of teaching young people manners are paying off—one worm at a time.
