I think that it may be easier for me to do, than for others to do. I didn't
really pay attention in elementary school, instead I watched kids, and
learned their speech patterns. I however, think it less tiring than
emulating people my own age. When I'm nervous, I start bouncing up and down
on my toes. When I need something, I get a smile on, and say please in the
same prompted manner a child would have. It works well. It's just a set of
routines.
