Being Polite

We work pretty hard on having the kids use words to express themselves and to use polite phrases.  This exchange happened when Dorothy was trying to take a toy away from Malcolm and he was very displeased with her actions.

Me:  Dorothy, did you ask Malcolm if you could play with that or did you just try to take it?
Dorothy:  Take it.
Me:  Why don't you try asking him nicely if you may play with it?
Dorothy:  May I take it, please?
Malcolm:  No, thank you.

So close.
