My manners are me!
I’ll show you would you like to see!
My manners are me! How I use them I will show you like they were shown to me!
I use my manners everyday because it’s what I see. I use my manners everyday just how they should be! I use my manners everyday cause I would like others to use their manners with me!
Manners I use would you like to see I can show you manners plenty! I use my manners with everyone, those big and small I use manners when I deal with all!
I say excuse me to Grammy as I go by, she pats my head with a smile and a sigh, because she loves when I use my manners, and so do I!
I say thank you to mom for my lunch of peanut butter and jelly. Mom also loves when I use my manners and I love when she fills my belly.
I apologize to my sister who is younger then me, she can be very annoying though I know she doesn’t mean to be! So I say sorry little sis for being grouchy!
I even use my manners when we go out, I help Miss Wilson retrieve her paper she would have trouble and no doubt. See, Miss Wilson is old and can't move about, so my manners kick in and I help her out!
I love using manners and helping, it is one of my favorite things to do! My mom taught me when and how it is safe to! I do not approach strangers or accept anything from someone knew! I always check with mom first everytime no matter who!
I use my manners as often as I can remember to, my mom and dad taught me manners because when you respect people they respect you!

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
