Check out “Don’t Hate,” an ad where a bunch of wise-arse kids barrage ign’ant adults with shark-friendly statistics like “Did you know you’re more likely to be killed by a coconut falling out a tree?”

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good message. Something about these kids — the way they talk, their righteous I adhere to the Food Pyramid! tenors — makes me want to tie my tubes, though. But hey, I also learned that sharks “just aren’t interested” in eating me.

Greif and Gleason’s 1980 research on how children learn politeness routines found that young children almost never say “please” or “thank you” spontaneously, they say it because a parent prompts them with “what do you say?” dozens of times a week, meaning the reflex adults later display without thinking twice was built through years of someone else’s prompting long before it became automatic.
