We are doing a 5k walk/run for the zoo today. My 11th grade grandson has to walk the shorter 1 mile route with his 5th grade sister. I want their relationship to be better. I was going to suggest they have to ask questions of each other, e.g. what are you learning in each school, one subject at a time.
Your article dove tails perfectly and I will convey the smelling dog butts, and QUICK, and the importance of small talk with friends, acquaintances, and strangers.
We went to a living history farm yesterday where my grandfather worked back in the forties before he bought his own farm down the road several miles. We go to see life from early to mid 20th c. We also go to see people or our parent’s friends we don’t run into otherwise.
I had a couple extended conversations, one about the family business we had, and another that started out at the grain elevator building asking the docent why grain elevators are able to explode? He mentioned that wheat dust is highly explosive while soy beans have so much dirt with them that they have never had a soy bean explosion. We then moved on to road trips in Nebraska with the towns being 10-15 miles apart, and the elevators so high, that when you leave town, you can see the elevator in the next town.
Thanks for your thoughts and how the importance of small talk is so important, especially to face time people face to face and not through a screen.
