Other than Memorial Day and national Macaroon day in Uncle Sam’s land today is also speak in full sentences day!
“Duh!”
“What?”
“Why?”
“Hmm”
Why speak full sentences? Can you imagine the confusion that could be caused by incomplete ones? We had an entire play that said, “People will interrupt”
How many times have we been told answer in a single word? Yes or No that’s it. Can you imagine sitting through a laborious sentence when a single okay or no would suffice.
I remember this stage that my daughters went through when they used the same word to mean opposite things. Another time my friend was worried that her daughter spoke single syllables and my daughter would say “where’s the ball” when all she wanted to say was ball.
When writing books for children below 6yrs, the rule is not more than six words in a sentence.
Many a times we get stuck mid sentence and panic button goes on this was a suggestion given to me
• Get calm stop struggling
• Slow down the speed of your speech
• Ask for your audience help!
