Still more dialogue I’d like to use in a book one day

Husband wakes at 4:30 a.m. to find his wife gone. Investigating, he finds her slumped on the couch in the living room.

Husband: “What’s wrong?”

Wife, miserably: “I dreamed that the roof sprang a hundred leaks, and I couldn’t get hold of any roofers and my insurance company wouldn’t answer the phone and every time I got a pot under a leak, a new one sprang up and no one would help me.”

Husband, sympathetically: “I’m sorry, dear.”

Wife: “Also, I was married to my sister.”

Husband, wryly: “Personally, I would have made that the headline.”

I spent two decades helping companies like Bell Labs, Juniper Networks, and a genetic testing company that was later acquired by CVS translate some of the world’s most complicated concepts into actionable, understandable English. Now I'm working on a different problem -- helping parents raise the next generation of critical thinkers. The first book in my Caterpickles Parenting Series, What’s That, Mom?, focuses on how to use public art to nurture children’s curiosity in the world around them. My next book will focus on science, and how parents without a science degree can answer their curious child's questions without enrolling in a college level refresher course.
