Just when I think that I’m a great communicator, life enlightens me and shows me that I am deluded. This enlightenment usually takes the form of a small child.

You really have to be a great communicator to help children understand things. Not even ethereal concepts. Just ordinary things. Like hats.

              (pointing to one of many caps in the closet) 
Hat.

GREAT COMMUNICATOR
Yes, that's a hat.

TODDLER 
  (pointing again to another cap) 
Hat.

GREAT COMMUNICATOR
Yes, that is also a hat.

TODDLER
 (pointing to yet another cap) 
Hat.

GREAT COMMUNICATOR
          That is a hat as well. I could add that 
           the hat is actually a cap, but we'll get 
            into subsets when you're older. Actually, 
            each hat you've pointed to is technically 
 a cap. But there are some hats 
hanging in the closet as well.

TODDLER
(pointing to first cap)
Hat.

GREAT COMMUNICATOR
Sorry: yes, that is a hat.

TODDLER RUNS OFF TO PLAY WITH SOMEONE SMARTER.

I wonder whether my youngest child would be better served by me just shutting the heck up. I’m not a poor communicator. Most of the time, anyway. I’m actually a pretty decent communicator. I make a living at it, for crying out loud.

It’s just that I’m not in the 90th percentile. My child reminds me that, on a good day, I’m solidly entrenched in the 60th percentile.
