Today's OneWord: Polite

"I was only trying to be polite!"

Carlos couldn't understand why his father kept shaking his head. In the corner, Veronica was still wiping her hand across her eyes, and from a distance, they still appeared to be puffy and red. The disoriented boy sat down at the table and picked up his cerveza.

"Sometimes," his father rumbled from above his head, "it's not about thinking you're being courteous. It's about giving a poor chica some peace and quiet."
