MY STREETWISE 10-YEAR OLD
March 10, 2009My daughter sees and hears things pretty clearly.
She asked me rhetorically, "Why is it that whenever I answer the phone, if it's an adult, they always say - "How's school going?"
"Do they always say that?" I asked her.
"Yes, unless it's summer, then they ask, 'How's vacation going?"
We adults are so conversationally limited.
And kids know it.
