See how nice and easy that is?!?
Well, growing up my mom thought it was important to teach my brother and I how to compliment people. So she tried a tactic she probably read in some book about raising kids. Every time my brother or I did something mean to someone (usually each other) or said something mean we had to give the person three compliments. Here's a preview of how they went:
Molly: "Ben your feet stink and we should burn your shoes"
Ben: "Shut up buttface you stink"
Mom: "Now kids those things are not nice to say to each other. Please stop right now and say three nice things to each other."
Ben & Molly: "fine mom"
Molly: "Ben is good at soccer, smart at math, and runs fast"
Ben: "Molly is good, she's fine, she's well"
Really Ben?!?! That's all you could come up with???? Pretty much that's all he ever said, so Emily I'm sorry Ben never really learned how to complement people, but if he ever says you're good, fine or well take it...it's the best he can do.
