week eleven: my e prime day

I tried to stay consistent with the idea of e-prime all day, it was hard. I used alot of statements like in my opinion, rather than the usual stating opinion as fact. I also know it was hard because as a parent I try and be the authority and if my answer to every question goes something like" in my present state of musical education and ignorance" my kids would be completely confused and I might have lost some status(as if they care). I do however think that is important to try and stay as close to e-prime as possible. I reminds me a lot of this model of talking called non violent communication it's a local organization NVC that's working hard to take out stereotypes from our language that can be hurtful. We are constantly evolving as a race and we are slowly moving forward.
