Think of a breakfast muffin with sausage and egg.

Yep, that's the one.

You can see it, can't you?

Deep in your mind.

Sausage, egg, cheese, muffin.

I don't even need to say its name, do I?

Breakfast, done properly.

Served until 11 a.m.

Maybe it's just that you don't know how to use social courtesy.

Oh, that's all fashion.

Watch how busy post and damn post senate.

Act as host and hostess.

They know that courtesy means showing respect, thinking of the other person, real friendliness.

Hello.

And welcome to awesome etiquette, where we explore modern etiquette through the lens of consideration, respect, and honesty. On today's show, we take your questions on a meal train mishap, gracefully wrapping up a

gathering early, seating significant others at a wedding, and how to go about asking someone

to throw you a bridal shower.

For awesome etiquette sustaining members, our question of the week is about responding to personal questions from your boss.

Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript where we discuss left-handed diners.

All that coming up.

Awesome etiquette comes to you from the studios of our home offices in Vermont and is proud to be produced by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Lizzie Post.
