Last week's manners lesson was focused on boredom. Things went very well and the Miss Marches did well over all. Meg, starting to think that she is a teenager, seemed to be the most challenged by this new expectation. However, she did her best to rise to the new standard.
I now realize that I got off easy. Aunty Manners must have wanted me to have a nice week before we got into the real work.
This week we will be working on...Screaming, Crying, and other inappropriate noises.
When an adult asks a child to perform a task, the polite response is yes ma'am, yes sir, yes mommy, etc. Screaming, Crying and other forms of carrying on are NOT acceptable etiquette.
I confess, Amy's first response to almost any expectation is to cry. This is going to be a very challenging week.
Mrs. Pevensie, in reply to your question about teaching adults manners, Aunty was very sad to respond that it is not good manners to correct another adult on their lack of manners. One must rise to the occasion and simple demonstrate what proper manners look like.

Be glad you don't have any boys. Mine loves inappropriate noises all the time. I look forward to the rest of your series on Aunty Manners.
Thank You, the funny thing is I thought I wanted boys. God is wiser then I.
