Pete speaks what I think may be the future evolution of english. All unnecessary information is left out, so that he communicates only the facts, without any flourish.
Not: "Mom, I saw a man sitting in his house as we passed in the car just now!"
Instead: "See one man in house"
Yesterday, Pete was playing at a public playground, and a little girl maybe 3 years old came to play near him. Pete was making sing song sounds with his voice as he played in his own world, and the girl came up to him and said "I'd like to play over here now, so can you please keep it down?"
Pete just stared at her for a few seconds and must have dismissed her authority, because he went back to what he was doing before, making his sounds and playing with trucks or planes or something. A few minutes later, the little girl came back up to him and said, "If I have to remind you one more time, I'm going to put you to bed!"
I think this confused Pete, but he didn't argue with her. 5 minutes later, he came up to Heather and said "No Mom, daytime!" He found a loophole in the 3 year old's threat!
Do you think that women have an inborn ability to out-communicate men?
