Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
I just had a rambling conversation with my granddaughter. She's snowed in and bored and I'm flued in and bored. We sang "Star of Wonder" and struggled through the words to the second verse, discussed what she'd been doing since her school was closed all last week because of snow, how I got my flu, why she can't find the third book of Lemony Snicket, and the visit of her uncle and aunt, my son and his fiancee. We discussed her baby nephew, and how he likes the stroller and she said she didn't and I contradicted her by telling her the story of when we were in Morocco and how her grandpa and I used to stroll her around the apartment complex to get her to sleep. I described the time her parents first went out to dinner without her, and we strolled her inside the flat and she went to sleep and was still sound asleep when her parents returned three hours later. I explained why I thought she would like the film "Hidden Figures" about women in the space program, and she was persuaded she might be interested. As I said, we rambled. Then her mother told her it was time to get off the phone because her uncle was arriving and we hung up. Right speech? I think so.
