March 5, 2010Even in high drama, word choice matters. Poison Phrase, I lost my son
Word considerations seem insignificant in the high drama of Kerry Patterson’s confessional tale about leaving his baby in a store, but he does note that he was careful about not saying anything that would land him in jail. When he returned to the store and found employees cooing over his baby, instead of saying,
- I lost my son,
he noted,
- You found my son.Thank-you, thank-you.
That did take the edge off the situation by focusing on the positive.
