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's 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 Lizzie Post and Dan Post Center.

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

sitting in a salon when you're not the customer, being asked to help host a bridal shower,

and how to eat olives, a particular favorite question for Dan and me. For community members,

your question of the week is about gifting for a double birthday party.

Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where we get the second half of our questions and answers from Mrs. Torres's second grade class.

All that's 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.
