Miss Manners

IMG_6174
Overheard immediately after Claire was reprimanded for back-talking:

Margot: "Why did Claire get in trouble?"
Me: "For talking in a not-nice way."
Margot: "Yeah, Claire’s not too good at talking nice, huh?"
Claire: "Margot! You’re not good at tying knots."
Margot: "Yes I am."
Claire: "No, you aren’t. You can’t tie a bow."
Margot: "I can. I just don’t let anyone see me do it."

This conversation illustrates so many things about each of them that I don't even know where to start.
