I am getting so annoyed at everyone being so literal

[Guest guest]

good thing you belong to this list. That is how I am and I am sure it is

one of the reasons I keep reading all these messages. Just type what you

want to say to them.

> yep! i know what you mean - simplified language, clear concise meaning.

i remember when we first started seeing a speech pathologist and she said we

had to simplify our language and replace things like " did you want another

glass of apple juice honey? " with " more juice " i felt like a caveman!

Ooooooohh....wasn't that AWFUL???? The first while of talking to like

that felt like child abuse!

LOL.

I hear ya hon. Every once in a while I forget myself

and give the kids a flippant answer and immediately

regret it. Like when I told that he could stay

home and we'll send Tricia to Grade 2 (they both took

me seriously and loved the idea, hoo boy was I in

trouble) or when I told Tricia that there were no

monsters in her room because they all moved south to

Calgary. Now they both call Calgary " that monster

place " . Ug.

I know it is frustrating, but the Calgary story is very funny.

When Jacqui was smaller and my mom used to babysit, I used to have to leave

her a note as to how to get her to sleep...

Part of the note would read.

" Give her her 'more' "

That stood for give her more juice if she wants it.

LOL
