Some families are happy in their lively small talk, others crawl through life on a bed of bromides and inanities. The secret of revitalizing small talk is bringing better information, more specific data, and greater variety to it, cultivating, as Father Magner says, "definite outside interests" and introducing them for discussion. Many a dull marriage, a bored family, a stagnating circle of friends can be given a new vitality, can be enriched, if someone starts injecting more variety and better information into the small talk. So much for this category of conversation: gossip, shoptalk, and small talk. |
