Introduction To Communication

Last night we were learning about abstract conversations and concrete conversations and how we prefer one over the other. Really? blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah is what I was thinking.

We had nice examples like:

He's an athlete. (abstract)

What kind of athlete?

A professional athlete.

What sport?

He's a professional football player. (concrete)

yada, yada, yada.

But there is nothing like living a lesson being learned- like this conversation I had with Sebi today.

"mommy will be right back."

"mommy, where are you going?"

"mommy is going to go potty, and I will be right back."

"mommy?"

"yes?"

"are you going to go toot-toots, or wee-wees?"

I'll spare y'all my answer. I did oblige him since he apparently still cares. And I suppose we do prefer concrete conversations.
