Kesiah, still a four year old when it comes to gift etiquette and also not a fan of receiving clothing, was losing patience with her loot and booty on Chanukah. After outfit number two, the exasperated child sighed, "Ugh! I don't WANT clothes!"
Mommy: It's much nicer to just say "Thank you"
Kesiah: Why?
Mommy: [insert brief explanation of gift-giving] Also, how would you feel if someone said they didn't like a gift you gave them?
Kesiah: I'd like it!
Mommy: (dubious of this answer) oh, really?
Kesiah: Yes. Because then, I could say "Oh! I'm sorry, let me get you something else!"
