thank u for giving me so much detail with so few words.*

I used to call myself "(real or fake name here) the Concise." It bothered the hell out of teachers who wanted X number of sentences/paragraphs and I
put the the same information that they wanted into half of that or less.

And it also annoys me when people utterly fail to communicate something very simple and waste so many words. One recent example was asking whose unfinished lunch was on the table (it was mine, I had left to use the bathroom) so my dad is at the door and he says "Alex, is that bowl on the table yours? Because blah blah...." and I just repeatedly say yes after this but he says 2-3 sentences before the first "yes" registers. So then he goes and says to mom "Yeah it's his, and blah blah..." and wasted paragraphs with no meaning are just pouring out of his mouth. I wanted to say something dumb like "there are children with writer's block in Africa who would have loved to have all those words," but it wouldn't have helped anything.

Wow, I'm not even sure how that slipped in here.

*can i share ur email with soul riser?

if u want, u can edit it before i do*

Sure thing. (Also, I'm sorry but I forgot to PM her, do you still want me
to do that?)

Also, I took your mom test and have a few questions to add.

(Most answers are in the form mom answer/dad answer)

I think I already know what my answers mean, but I'd be interested to hear
your analysis.

Thanks for everything,
AH
