Delivering lectures

I guess it's true that parents do rub off on kids. When I was a wee girl, I still remember Mom driving sis and me to karate on friday nights. En route to karate class, the two of us would be sitting in the backseat a bit groggy from our afternoon nap and my mom would be rattling off lectures one after another. I don't know if she followed a whole syllabus, but I'm sure we got a whole course on life 101 through the program designed specially for such commutes. It's perfect see? There's no escape routes close at hand and we either tune in to Station Mom101 FM or we glaze over as we idly gazed out the window.

All this is just to say, I just spent a good couple of hours talking on the phone and before I knew it, I was rattling off lectures (quite passionately) I might add. I've had this experience with other people too, and because I'm normally so reticent and as this blog can testify, so succinct with my verbiage, I can only conclude that the art of lecturing has been passed on to me from mumsie.

Ha...it's now way past my bedtime and I should probably discuss the subject of lecturing at a more decent hour. Tallyho mates and off to bed I go!

Hey, at least I'm self aware. I know I sometimes can go off on a spiel, but I usually have your best interest at heart. Be glad that I've expended so much effort and saliva for your benefits!
