Shhh Probably not supposed to tell you
Do you ever do those online surveys that are supposed to be top secret?
Well shhhh. Don't tell anyone I'm telling you this.
I have one today that wants me to record all my conversations.
Not the actual words (phew!) but count the number of conversations by category, and note if I mention any specific products.
Skimming over the list, it makes me wonder:
Do people in the real world have conversations about this stuff? And I'm just living under a rock?
Does mumbling, "need more coffee" to myself count as a discussion on beverages?
Does "Honey, go toast some waffles" count as a conversation about frozen food?
Does "Time to get dressed. Where's your other sock?" count as a conversation about clothing and apparel?
The Grand Lunar says a conversation would be two-way. So if the child wanders off, supposedly to do what I said, is that not a conversation?
Anyway, so far, my "conversations" are not very impressive. And perhaps not even conversations. Perhaps on a regular day I don't converse. Perhaps I just give orders and mumble to myself.
Oh, wait, do you think blogging about it counts as a conversation? Only if you reply?
Okay, now eat this email. It never happened. You're sworn to secrecy.
