small talk

[Kat Kid]

that's why mexicans are better than us (most people are, prolly).  instead of small talk, they do formal pleasantries.  it's super easy.  it feels good and you can do it while thinking of about 16 other things inside your head.

Can you give a couple examples?

someone you know a little.

My dentist is a talker.  It would be fine if she just talked to pass the time, but she always asks me questions while working.  How am I supposed to answer while she's scraping my teeth and my mouth is filling up with saliva?!  I can't even nod/shake my head without getting my gums poked!

that's a great one tdaver.  questioner dentists should all be fired.

I enjoy small talk.  I am a people person though.
