The other day I was talking to my children, Chelsea and Sacha, about meeting people. I told them that it is a good thing to have on hand an imaginary list of five questions to ask a person. That way when the situation arises, and they meet someone for the first time, they are not tongue tied, nor stuck saying something like, "Isn’t it nice weather we are having?"
Sacha asked me what five questions I had on hand?
I laughed, and told him that was a good question. Then I said, I usually try to talk about whatever is going on around me, for example let’s say I was at an antique fair, I’d ask, "What type of antiques do they collect?"
Sacha said, "Mom, when I meet a girl for the first time the questions are as simple as this:
What"s you name?
Where do you live? (and,)
What’s your phone number?"
