We have been told that saying 'thank you' and 'please' is the key to success in life. 

It exudes gratitude and good manners. When we hear a child saying these words, it is a good reflection of their upbringing. Practising gratitude with others in how we speak moulds us into kind and approachable people and determines how others treat us.

with his mother and was adamant that his way of saying 'thank you' was correct. 

The young man was handed a yoghurt cup by his mother, and he proceeded to thank her with a darling head tilt and the words, 'Thank you'. 

It was so adorable and heartwarming but technically incorrect, so Mom tried to correct him, and he did not have it. He even went on to try and teach her how to say 'Phank you' as a teacher would instruct a child.

His video has over 57,000 likes and over 560,000 views, and we are happy to say that it has left many people smiling.

Besides leaving a smile on our faces, he also taught us that sometimes, there isn't only one way of looking at things. Kids will teach you that whether you ask them for the lesson or not, so be prepared.
