Greetful - adj. welcoming others happily

Sometimes it can be difficult teaching children and pre-teens how to be polite. I sometimes find myself teaching the same things over and over like any mom. We have always tried to lead by example. Most of the time it works. But in the case of today, it didn't and my made-up word came out.

Friends of ours came to visit us today. The bell rings and everyone jumps up to greet the family with smiles and hugs. All except Jasmine. She just ignores them and sits on the couch. They finally make it through the greetings and notice there were no hugs or smiles from Jasmine. So they go to her, bend down, hug and say hi. And I see that she's just not into being friendly today. So the sentence comes out, "Jasmine, you need to be greetful." Ah, greetful. Where did that come from? Grateful, maybe? Of course it gets a laugh. They bring out the southern jokes for me and everyone gets their kicks. I'm glad I'm the life of the party.
