The Art of Conversation, 3rd period
"Right." Jon nodded. "So, today is about starting a conversation."
He paused awkwardly.
"Apparently one of the best ways to do that is by asking a question. Some suggested questions are," he looked at the note card he'd written out, "What brought you here; I like a part of your outfit, where did you get it; have you heard about this news story; have you seen such-and-such movie; and what's on your bucket list. I...um. Well, I try not to ask questions myself." For reasons.
"Which doesn't mean it isn't a good idea! So maybe we could try that. Each of you can ask me a question and ask each other a question, and I'll...do something, and let's see if we can keep each conversation going for..." Well, it was a one-hour class, and that would be six conversations if he could not-ask questions back... "For ten minutes each. At least. You don't have to ask those I mentioned, just anything."
Maybe they'd talk to each other a lot and he could get out of this. That was totally in the spirit of the class, right?
