Michelle Garcia Winner has a great post on the roles we play in conversations that she posted on May 5th. Two she mentions are "information informer" and "social relater". Hopefully we all get to fill each role multiple times in the day.
We have a new family constellation at the lake for a few weeks (Miranda, Michael, Alice, Grandpa Kelvin, Grandma Arta, Bonnie and David). We have adopted a dinner conversation that Michael must use at his home in Calgary. It goes like this, "What was your favorite part of the day?" Michael's has included "noodles", "walking to the beach", and "popsicles". Today David's was "seeing a huge rainbow above Larch Hills on the drive home".
It is fun to plan ahead what information we will inform each other of at the dinner table.
