What does it mean to be nice?

It means thinking of others first, and meaning it.

[sweariwontdie]

Good answer. *smiles* Do you think it can be learned?

[fiesty_eyrien]

*considers* It means being pleasant and giving. Even if you don't particularly like a person.

[sweariwontdie]

I'm having a hard time explaining it. How it's not faking it when being pleasant is an effort.

*thinks about it very seriously* ...It means sharing your cookies. *wise nod*

[sweariwontdie]

*smiles and looks for a cookie or two to share* *crouches down* That is right, petite mademoiselle. How would you explain that to a bully who didn't know how to share?

[lil_live_wire]

Then you tell him to go away and that he can't have any cookies until he learns to be nice and share. ...And if it doesn't work you kick him in the shin and run away. *^_^*

[sweariwontdie]

*finds a cookie in his pocket* Good enough. *smiles* At least you give him a chance. *holds the cookie out to her*

Generally, I find that it means you're after something.

[sweariwontdie]

Why do you say that?

[illgotten]

Oh, an infinity of reasons. Have you met my lady aunt?

[sweariwontdie]

I don't think so. *(cautiously* I'm looking for examples to help a friend.

[bigbroroxxorz]

To be foolish.

You seem to have quite a bit of practice.

[sweariwontdie]

*blushes* So I have.
