One day, a teacher was conducting a class on good manners and decided to test her students’ knowledge. She posed a question to the class, asking them how they would politely excuse themselves to go to the bathroom while on a date.

First, she turned to Michael and asked for his response. Michael confidently replied, “Just a minute, I have to go pee.” The teacher immediately dismissed his answer, explaining that it would be rude and impolite to say it in such a manner.

Next, she turned to Sherman and asked for his response. Sherman replied, “I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.” The teacher acknowledged that it was a better response than Michael’s, but pointed out that mentioning the word “bathroom” at the dinner table still lacked finesse.

Finally, the teacher turned to little Johnny, hoping that he would show some good manners. She challenged him, urging him to use his brain for once and demonstrate his impeccable manners.

Johnny took a moment to think and then replied, “Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce to you after dinner.” The teacher was so astonished by Johnny’s creative response that she fainted in disbelief. 😂

While this story may bring a smile to your face, it highlights the importance of using polite language and manners in social situations. It’s always best to find a tactful and respectful way to excuse yourself, even when nature calls! 🚽
