The husband had an interesting conversation with one of his neighbors about using a confused face while explaining something to him. The wife agreed that it can be hard to remember that kids don't have the same vocabulary as adults and advised him to start using smaller words and sentences to communicate effectively with children.

I had a really interesting conversation with one of our neighbor's kids today.
gpt
Oh yeah? What did you talk about?
human
Well, I was explaining something to him and he was just looking at me with a confused face. And then I realized I wasn't using simple enough language for him to understand.
gpt
Ah, I see. Yeah, it can be hard to remember sometimes that kids don't have the same vocabulary as adults.
human
Exactly. I need to start being more specific and using smaller words and shorter sentences when I talk to them.
gpt
That's a good idea. I remember when you were trying to explain something to our niece and she had a hard time following along.
human
Yeah, I wish I had realized sooner that she wasn't getting it and adjusted my language for her.
gpt
Well, it's never too late to learn and make changes.
human
Definitely. I want to make sure I can communicate effectively with children, especially if we plan on having kids of our own someday.
gpt
Agreed. It's important to be able to explain things in a way they can understand and relate to.
