Practical Etiquette [Thursday, August 1, 2nd period]

"Okay, so I spent my weekend on a bus to Albuquerque because apparently I wasn't hot enough to be on the island any more," Josh began, taking a sip from his cup of coffee, "so that was special. Because of that, we're avoiding dealing with internet trolls or going to conventions this week. No need to thank me."

He tilted his head and thought about that. "Actually, no, go ahead and thank me."

After waiting for the accolades that may or may not be coming, Josh gestured around the Danger Shop generated busy street they were near. "Today we talk about being polite in traffic. Granted, if you scream obscenities at the moron who cut you off, there's a good chance he'll never hear you, but once you get in that habit, there's a better than even chance you'll have a little kid in your car in fifteen years asking you, 'Daddy, is that an asshole?' And while it probably is, that's not the sort of stuff that gets you parent of the year awards."

Well, it was true.

"You'll either be in self-driving vehicles because this isn't drivers' ed or be innocent pedestrians. Don't kill anyone, okay? We'll meet at that fake coffee shop when you're done," he concluded, pointing it out.

Mercy pulled into the nearest gas station and parked at the pump. Then she hopped out, "Your turn for the gas. I'll run in and get us some cold drinks while you take care of that."

The girl looked more than a bit disgruntled, but was pulling out her credit card as Mercy made it inside.
