During an etiquette class being held for young children, the teacher says to her students: "If you were courting a well educated young girl and during a dinner you needed to go to the toilet, what would you say to her?" Charlie replies: "I'm sorry I need to go to the toilet, I'll be back in a minute." The teacher says: "That's not bad but to mention the word 'toilet' during a meal, is unpleasant."And Little Johnny says: "My dear, please excuse me for a moment. I have to go shake hands with a personal friend, whom, I hope to be able to introduce to you after dinner." 어린이 예절교육 시간에 선생님이 학생들에게 말했다. "어린 숙녀와 만나 식사하는 동안 화장실에 갈 일이 생긴다면 어떻게 말해야 하지요?"찰리가 답했다. "미안하지만 화장실에 다녀와야 해요. 곧 올게요.""나쁘진 않지만 식사하면서 '화장실'이라는 단어를 입에 올리는 건 예절에 어긋나요"선생님이 답했다. 그러자 어린 자니가 말했다. "내 사랑. 잠시 무례를 용서해주오. 내 친한 친구와 만나러 가야겠소. 식사 뒤에 꼭 소개해주리다."
