# 21. Learn how to set the table properly.


It counts a lot. I will be teaching you this when you reach the age of not-breaking-anything.

# 20. Table manners matter a lot.


* If you are the recipient of a toast, keep your glass at arm’s length—never drink from it. Instead, simply nod your head and graciously say, “Thank you.”

*Never take your cocktail to the dinner table.

*Allow your food to cool on its own—never blow on anything.

*If you wear lipstick, keep it off your plate and napkin by blotting it as soon as you apply it.

*Your napkin is there for you to dab your mouth only. Do not use it to wipe off lipstick or (God forbid) blow your nose.

*Keep your elbows off the table at all times.

*Don’t put your purse, keys, sunglasses, or eyeglasses on the table.

*Take food out of your mouth the way it went in. If a piece of steak fat went into your mouth with a fork, spit it out onto the fork.

*Remove an olive pit with your thumb and index finger.

*Taste everything on your plate before you add salt or pepper.

*Leave your plate where it is when you are finished with your meal—don’t push it away from you.

# 17. Love like you were Adele


" When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love... "



By the time you'll be 18, I'll be as old as her; And I will have loved as much as she has.

# 16. No matter how cool it is being portrayed nowadays, smoking is, have, and will always be bad for you.

It's quite unattractive to see a girl who smokes. (Photo ops apply)
