sabrinamariSo, I'm teaching Trent how to talk to humans. He's already pretty good at it, but he'd like to spruce up his skills so he can talk to girls more easily. So far, we're doing rather well. Friday we went for sushi and practiced asking general questions, following up with probes, reflecting back what people say and other kinds of active listening. We had fun role-playing, and we switched back and forth a few times. He picked it up really fast.
Between this and Tarot, I'm feeling good about my contributions.
He's also learned how to make quesadillas and soon, I will teach him to make rice.
[He just said, "I know how to make rice. You dump the rice in boiling water. If you want it to be sticky, you stir it". Dear gods, we're making rice the Latin way tomorrow.]
Not bad for a non-parent.
