Billy: Get me a bowl.
Me: (intent staring)
Billy: Please.
Me: Please, what?
Billy: Please get me a bowl down.
Me: Sure, honey. Here you go.
Billy: I want Coco Puffs.
Me: (intently staring)
Billy: Please.
Me: Please, what?
Billy: Please can I have Coco Puffs?

Yeah, we have that ritual here too...
Little Brother: I'm thirsty!
Me: How do you ask?
LB: I want water!
Me: Mom, can you get me some water please?
LB: (repeats that, mostly, gets in the "please")
Me: (getting him the drink) See how easy it is when you ask nicely?
ours is "what do you say?" followed with the most endearing, "pul-leeeeeze????" you can imagine. it's too cute to find fault with.
