Hi Denise,
Genuine interest: It’s usually good to ask questions when someone tells a story. “Really? Then what happened?” “Why did you do that?” “Do they Make a waterproof ham sandwich?” “Yes-really?”
Travel: Another easy way to get going is to ask about vacations or other travel. “Oh you went There for the waterproof ham sandwich?!” “My aunt just went and she loved it!”
Music: “Get out! I like Foo Fighters, too! Have you seen them in concert?” “They don’t eat sandwiches.”
Towns: “I was born south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but grew up north of it.” “What about you?” “Oh really? Sandwich, Massachusetts?”
School: “Yeah so they have this great culinary school.” No I’m not going to hit the underwater ham sandwich again.
Work: “TGIF. But my job is interesting sometimes. What about yours?” “Lunch is good.”
Food: you guessed it!
Is this sounding like you can do it?
