I had a friend who, as a child, was told that a proper lady never laughed out loud. And for her entire life she never did. She would laugh, but always silently (as in no sound came out of her mouth).<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-20077723638394572014-11-02T14:54:49.402-06:002014-11-02T14:54:49.402-06:00Ashantay: Ah...tea with the vicar.

The biggest take-away I had from etiquette lessons was how a lady sits: no crossed legs, knees together and tilted to one side, top leg crosses bottom one at the ankle. Yeah, I still do it on occasion.
