Our son takes part in other cultures

The world's most perfect teenager has and has always had friends who are predominantly of Asian origin. This has led to Junior unknowingly adopting certain cultural practices that are not Swedish. In Japan, for example, the glass is always refilled if you leave the glass completely empty. So when you have finished drinking, you leave a small splash at the bottom, unlike in Sweden where you have to drink the whole glass to be finished.

Since Junior has had a very close friend of Japanese origin for several years, this is a trait he has embraced. However, the offspring has not limited himself to drinking glasses, he never takes the last splash in either milk or juice bottles, he always leaves one last piece of paper on the toilet roll and so on.

I hope there is no culture where it is considered rude to leave the last splash in the glass, bottles, the toilet roll etcetera because that would mean big problems for Junior.
