When you sneeze, it feels like something important is happening. A long time ago, people thought sneezing might mean a person was being blessed by angels, or maybe cursed by demons! That's why we say 'bless you' when someone sneezes. It's like giving them a little extra love.
Examples
- Your friend sneezes loudly, you say 'bless you' to make them feel special.
- You're in class when your teacher sneezes, you whisper 'bless you' with a smile.
- At the grocery store, you see an old man sneeze, you say 'bless you' like it's part of the day.
