Pinch hitting for school conferences, I sent a text to my wife to confirm the time.  Here’s her reply…

What me?  Talk too much?  Sure, I do love to chatter, but it’s not like I’m harming anyone.

Flash forward, I’m sitting with the teacher and reviewing my Fourth Grade son Ben’s self-assessment.  Here’s how he answered the question of what he needs to work on…

“Not talk as much.”

Hmmm, it appears as if young Ben is learning from his dad and I in turn need to learn from Ben.

Son, tell me more.  I’m listening.
