2. Things people say...
God, I wish I had a
easy job like that.
Wow, so you’re baby
sitting every day?
Hey you should send me a
resume, I know some
places that are hiring.
It must be nice having a
wife who makes so much
money you can stay home.
Man, I would so love
to be doing that.

Surprise Let them surprise you.
Talk Be genuinely interested in
what they want to say.
