Plain Talk

A free letter every Thursday: one thing a teenager said this week, what it meant and what I would try.

Plain Talk, every Thursday

Chapter 1 · 3:30 pm

Can I just go to my room?

I have been around people all day and I need quiet.

Try Yes. Come down when you are ready. We eat at 6:30.

Chapter 2 · 6:30 pm

Can I eat in my room?

I need a break from talking.

Try Not tonight, but you can choose the music for dinner.
