And a funny note to finish out the day's posts

Posted in Family Life

This is my latest favorite incident.

I'm a horrible night owl, and my only time alone is after everyone else is in bed. So my daughter has been taught to get up, feed the animals, have a piece of fruit, and watch a couple of cartoons (we have Boomerang, so she gets all the good old ones!). I get up an hour or so later.

A couple of mornings ago, I came out and sat near her on the couch. She began chattering about the morning's shows, how the dog was behaving, asking what my activities the night before entailed, all the while looking around the room and ignoring the cartoon she had been watching.

Finally, she sighed and said, "I really need to find a book on conversation starters. I just don't what know what to say to you that's interesting."

Oh, my. Poor thing! She just wanted to talk with me, and didn't know what to say!

... for a child to start a conversation. Like "Guess what's almost impossible to flush down a toilet!"

That is so mature even to want to try... and I guarantee she won't know how to have a real adult conversation till long after she's become an adult. I've learned this through tortuous experience.

Me: "Did you see the toenail fungus growing on the dog?"
You: (sounds of someone doing Sukoku in PEN)

Me: "How do you feel about global thermonuclear war?"
You: (sounds of you catching up on your reading of the dictionary. The subject this day? "R")

Me: "Lets redecorate the house!"
You: (crunch crunch crunch--chips and dip)

Me: "I hear the neighbor is suffering from excessive flatulence."
You: (the sound of the "Law and Order" doink doink coming from the television)

I understand her frustration.

You're so good to me!

Sorry, I know you didn't hear that over the train horn or the buzz of the computer. Oh, wait -- was that the buzz of the oven? It's only forgiven if that's a four-course dinner!

Goofy man...
