Show, don't tell. Sick of it yet?
I just have a little real-life illustration I thought I'd share.
Yesterday as I write this, a guy from our neighborhood knocked at our door. My husband answered.
"Hi," the guy said. "I'm a member of Your Local Church. Great news. We just opened a daycare and preschool! We take children from three months old to 3K, and--"
"I'm going to interrupt you right there," my husband said. "You see that big car in the driveway?"
"Y-es?" said the guy.
"That belongs to my younger son."
A beat. "Oh. Have a nice day!" The guy left.
