Why is it so hard to communicate with adults (because they’re all crazy!)

Kids can learn lots of stuff at once. But every time you try to communicate something to a grown-up, you’re pushing it into an overstuffed head that’s hearing voices:

• How did I not know this before now?

• How important in the grand scheme of things is this information?

• Can I use this idea to bolster one of my favorite rants?

• I wonder if my ridiculously naïve brother is seeing this.

• How is my wine gone already?

• Who can I tell about this, and sound smart?

• Hey, is there some way I could make some money off this information?

How in the world do you get through to a person like that? I explain, in my latest post at McMurry.com. —DM
