On Being ASked to Say Grace (Polite Refusals)

[pendleton42]

had a friend ask me to say grace i tried to be polite and said to do not feel right saying it due to my beliefs. but they was the ones who pushed it/ and got nasty so i walked out.

I would say it …… "Grace"

Even if nobody called Grace was actually at the table

No not at all. Just go get one off the shelf of a religious household...they usually have one setting out by the front door.

Look at the upside, it will be the last time they ask you to say grace. LOL

My brother used that one. His other stock one was simply shouting "GRACE" and grabbing his fork. He never got asked to say grace again.

No.

Some people think that a direct answer is not polite or politically correct, that's their problem. A simple "no" is all that needs to be said.
