- Have you ever accidentally used a word or a phrase to express yourself and then regretted it later?
- What happened to make you realize you could have expressed your feelings in a better way?
- Do you think you are more likely to slip up when you are doing well and feeling successful, or when you’re struggling?
- Do you ever feel you need to say the types of things your friends say or do what they do? Is it hard not to go along with the crowd?

Goofus ignored a “Do not touch” sign and tried to play with a service pet.
Gallant asked permission to pet an on-duty service dog to make sure it wouldn’t distract him.
Conversation Starters:
- Have you ever seen a service dog in action? How did you know he was working? Whom was he helping and what did he do?
- What types of tasks do you think a service animal might be able to do?
- Why do you think experts say it is important not to interfere with a service animal that is assisting a person? What could happen if you interfere?
- Why do people generally say it is not a good idea to touch someone’s household pet without permission?
