How was your day?

Every night at dinner we ask the kids about their days. This has taught them to ask others how their day is and listen to other people stories. Basically we are teaching them how to hold a conversation. In the long run it will be very beneficial for them, but now it sometimes seems too routine for the kids. 

Whenever I pick up Gillian from school we have the following conversation:

G: How was your day?

M: Good. How was your day?

G: Good. How was your day?

M: Good. How was your day?

G: Good. How was your day?

And we will continue this round robin until one of us gives up. Today we did it a little bit different. 

G: How was your day?

M: Good. How was your day?

G: Good. How was your day?

M: Awesome. How was your day?

G: Good. How was your day?

M: Fabulous. How was your day?

G: Fabulous! How was your day?

M: Amazing! How was your day?

G: Awesomesauce! How was your day?

We continued with different adjectives until Gillian had enough. She loved it. Let's see if she remembers them tomorrow.
