M: Ellie, you seem down. What’s on your mind?
W: Well, Dad, Tiffany and I got into an argument at school.
M: You two are so close. What happened?
W: During our student council meeting, she was taking too long to make her
point, so I had to jump in to finish her sentence.
M: Oh, no. You shouldn’t interrupt someone when they’re in the middle of
speaking.
W: I know. But she kept talking about so many details.
M: Still, that’s not polite. How would you feel if you were her?
W: I’d probably be upset.
M: Exactly. That’s why when somebody’s talking, you shouldn’t cut them off.
W: You’re right. I guess I didn’t see things from her point of view.
M: So, how about letting others finish what they’re saying next time?
W: Okay. Thanks, Dad. I’ll apologize to her tomorrow.
