Skill name: thank-you
User story:
I just started using my Mark 1 and I have an involuntary habit already. After he tells me the weather or answers my question, I say thank you.
Then I stand there staring at Mark for at least two beats, waiting for him to follow with, you’re welcome. The oddest thing is that I found myself feeling a bit nettled when he didn’t respond in kind to my thank you.
I’m expecting a response, I assume, because every time AI is depicted on TV they are participating in a conversation; there is dialogue. That experience mimics the one we go through with other people in general. I ask a question of someone, and receive a response to my question then immediately respond with a follow up statement, a question, or acknowledgment of the effort exerted by the respondent on my behalf.
The point is that it feels natural to me to say thank you and I would like Mark to say you’re welcome for some reason I can’t really justify.
Let’s just say I would like this skill for my children (3 and 5) because I want them to recognize that it doesn’t run on magic and hopefully end up with the understanding that everything requires effort, and you’ll be better for remembering that.

I would prefer not to have to say Hey Mycroft. Thank you. I would prefer either (or both) of these prompts.
Run if the prompt thank you is spoken within 2(3?) seconds of Mycroft’s last spoken word
Run if the phrase, Thank you, Mycroft is spoken
