ⓘ Are you sitting comfortably? (Then I'll begin) Cette expression ("Êtes-vous assis confortablement? Je peux donc commencer") est la formule d'introduction classique que l'on prononce avant de raconter une histoire à des enfants. Le narrateur de l'émission de radio britannique Listen with Mother l'employait systématiquement avant chaque récit. Aujourd'hui, cette expression témoigne d'une attitude quelque peu condescendante de la part de celui qui l'emploie. On l'utilise lorsqu'on veut capter l'attention de personnes inattentives ou bien sur le mode humoristique avant un discours.
