When my son Luis Felipe (@luisfe) was about three years old, so that he could get used to asking for things saying "please", every time he asked me for something, I told him "Luis Felipe, you must ask for things using the magic word " please".
He quickly learned his lesson. He asked for everything by adding "please." He very rarely forgot to say it, but when this happened it was enough for me to say: "--Luis Felipe...And the magic word?" He immediately said "Please."
But... (There is always a "but") we were at the house of one of my home school students and he asked the child's mother: "Madam, give me water"
Immediately, opening my eyes wide, I asked him: "--Luis Felipe And the magic word?"
He made a strange expression as if he had never heard anything about itand with his innocent voice he answered me: "-- I don't know, ma, ...Abracadabra?
Muy rara vez olvidaba decirlo, pero cuando esto ocurría era suficiente que yo le dijera: "--Luis Felipe...¿Y las palabras mágicas?" De inmediato decia "Por favor".
Pero... (Siempre hay un "pero") Estábamos en casa de uno de mis alumnos de clases a domicilio y él le pidió a la mamá del niño: "--Señora, deme agua"
De inmediato, abriendo mucho los ojos le interpelé:
"--Luis Felipe ¿Y las palabras mágicas?"
Puso una expresión de extrañeza como si nunca hubiera escuchado algo al respecto y con su inocente voz me respondió:
"-- No se, ma, ...¿Abracadabra?
