At his reply Josie had to control herself not to lash out. Was he seriously pulling that proper wording thing with her. It always irritated her how in grade school she would ask if she could go to the bathroom and the teacher...thinking they were SO funny and clever would reply 'I don't know...can you?' It was apparently a lesson to say may I instead of can I, but it still irritated her to no end.
She shut her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself and forced a smile onto her face trying not to appear as annoyed as she was, "Well will you...please?"
