In Ana's speech therapy, she is learning that our words help "paint a picture in people's brains." If our words aren't clear or descriptive enough, then the listener is left with a "question mark in his brain" and they don't know what we are talking about.
It was Daddy's turn to put Ana to sleep last night and I overheard the following conversation:
Okay, Ana. We're going to go upstairs and brush your teeth and I want you to do it friendly. No fighting, okay?
Okay, Daddy.
Whew. Thanks, Ana. I don't like to fight you when we brush your teeth.
Well, we don't know about it, do we Dad? There's a question mark in our brain. We might fight about it or we might not.
No, I'm pretty sure there's no question mark in my brain. I don't want to fight about it.
Hmmm... well we will see.
