Myka being ever gracious with a couple truly cringe-worthy questions (on an etiquette page no less). Responding to rude or inappropriate questions would be a great video topic actually. I know I can struggle to find the best way to respond.
"Do you want more kids?" Don"t EVER ask that.😳 Myka was incredibly generous with this question. I would have answered, coyly, "mayyyyyyybe. Do you have any children?" Then the topic of children can be all about them. The hardest thing about being asked rude questions, is dealing with them so that you still bring out the best in the person who was impolite. SUCH a skill to learn. Very hard.
It’s funny that many of these questions asked are ones that Jennifer L Scott just discussed as being ‘rude’. You handled all of them with straightforward honesty and poise.
I thought the same… 😄 Such a fan of both ladies! I guess the difference is when someone says it’s open season on personal questions, as Myka did in this case.
I saw Jennifer’s video too and I think the difference is context. Jennifer is talking about questions asked by people in a social setting. In this video Myka is choosing the questions to answer and it is not live. Also, these are actually quite nosy and personal questions which are fine to answer in a video where she is connecting with her audience so they know more about her and feel more invested, but these would not necessarily be acceptable in normal conversation.
Great questions and answers! I'm white and I never thought you looked mixed. I honestly thought you were 100% white. How interesting that your dad is from Barbados! I love learning about people's nationalities.
Just wanted to share with you how I love the way you enunciate when you speak. I feel like that is the best gift you can give people and is a sign of class!! You are beautiful and so much fun to watch. For your next Q & A, can you share what you eat in a day? I would love to know if you stay away from certain foods, i.e. meat, sugar, etc.
Myka: Thank you so much. Your candor is always appreciated. I'll be 54 next month and I am still learning new things every single day . I am currently doing Pimsleur Spanish (I too had Spanish in High School and college). It just never seemed to stick, but this approach is helping significantly. My husband and I are empty nester of 3, but we always tried to teach our children to be kind. I believe they are so successful and have friends all over the world because of this. It really is so very important to be kind. They also know French and Spanish quite well and when they travel they enjoy speaking and getting to know locals wherever they go. You seem like you must be an amazing Mother! Your daughter is quite lucky to have you! By the way, I stopped the video to find and follow #funnybabies. So worth it! I already sent out several of these to people who would enjoy them. Please continue to spread your love and joy around the world, and I will try and do the same. Kind Regards, Mitzi
Thank you so much Myka. Nice to know you💕😊🌷 Jennifer L. Scott had a rude questions video recently and that what are you/what are you mixed with question? That gets under my skin. I know it's a rather harmless question but the phrasing of it makes me loopy lol. Like you're part alien 😆😘
I appreciate your comment about not wearing too much perfume because some people are sensitive to it. My mom has COPD and when people wear too much she has trouble breathing. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
Love that I discovered you! Your content is fabulous and you seem so sweet! When I found out you are a fellow Gator gal alumni , I just loved you even more! Thank you for your inspiration and go gators!!
Terrific interview, you are so authentic in your answers and that inspires others to let down walks. You really lead by example in your gracious responses too….Etiquette 101.
Wow! So crazy that you're from Barbados and also graduated from UF! It's always inspiring to see people with similar backgrounds to mine living the dream! Just got your book and I'm so excited to learn more!
I truly enjoyed your question and answer video, it’s nice to get to know the person you take advice from!! Praying for your dream of another child to become a reality🙏 Seems the majority of the world could benefit from learning good manners!!
You are such a nice and kind and down to earth elegant lady i really appreciate your videos and too bad there aren't subscribers but i truly hope you keep do what you are doing and best of luck to you
Not to be intrusive, but if you haven't tried perhaps look into natural family planning methods. A good practitioner can help identify issues with your fertility and cycle that oftentimes ivf will overlook. I wish you every success.
Thank you for Modern Etiquette Made Easy. May I ask how do we scrape the remaining bits of food onto our fork? I know that using my thumb is improper, but how should it be done?
Wow you look young.your age shock me I didn't think your married either. And you were definitely meant to be with your husband the bible says there is no coinsedence in God.

Yes! I have family members who ask me rude questions, and questions that are none of their business, and I would love to learn some responses

@@minnowx7099 Sure.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with IVF 💕 I'll be praying for you too
Quite interesting how personal people get with questions.
“You don’t seem completely white?” What a ridiculous, rude question. It is a tribute to your graciousness that you even addressed it!
I agree. She definitely leads by example…which is etiquette! 💕
My sentiments exactly!
Also people need to learn the difference between Race, Ethnicity, and Nationality 💁🏽♀️
Great questions and answers! I'm white and I never thought you looked mixed. I honestly thought you were 100% white. How interesting that your dad is from Barbados! I love learning about people's nationalities.
I love how you handled the fertility question. I know it can be painful but so many people are so rude when asked about it. You did it with such grace

I LOVE your positive nature-It's infectious!! This was such a fun Q&A.

I love this ms.myka. thank you.❤
I love this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bridge To Terabithia is is one of my favorite childhood books. ❤️ I read it in 3rd grade.
(I’m 41 ☺️)

Agree on the Cheettos!
Oh you’re a Cancer! Teaching etiquette I think really speaks to the Cancerian sensitivity. Love this video
Loved this
You are so gracious and kind. New subscriber.
I love your work!
You mentioned skin and teeth...Can you recommend any teeth whitening techniques that actually work?
Love your videos. How about one on mask etiquette and keeping social distance without offending others?
mycha♡
Go Gators ! My son is there now . Great school .
Not to be intrusive, but if you haven't tried perhaps look into natural family planning methods. A good practitioner can help identify issues with your fertility and cycle that oftentimes ivf will overlook. I wish you every success.
Love your intro.
Thank you for Modern Etiquette Made Easy. May I ask how do we scrape the remaining bits of food onto our fork? I know that using my thumb is improper, but how should it be done?
Great video.
😂 the queen went through war and famine?!?! You're so funny! I promise, SHE didn't!
Go Gators ❤️❤️❤️
Your profile picture brings to mind the film Boxing Helena for some reason.
Are you not concerned that you will develop traction alopecia from wearing your hair in a ponytail all the time?
Myka, Where did you get your big M cup?
Wow you look young.your age shock me I didn't think your married either. And you were definitely meant to be with your husband the bible says there is no coinsedence in God.
I was a freshman in HS when u were born. ,,, yet we look close in age..
How did you train for teaching etiquette?
Do you think life gets better or worse as you get older?
Definitely better😀
You're intro women/girls/females❔❔❔❔❔❔❔❔👩❤️💋👩
