"How was you day?" The classic family dinner conversation starter. The question that my parents asked my sister and I almost ever night of my entire lives.
"Good," "Fine," "Okay." The answers that we gave almost every night of our entire lives.
When these short answers didn't satisfy my parents they moved onto: "Did anything exciting happen today?"
Did anything exciting happen today? I would think to myself. It was the middle of the week and I'm eleven what could possibly happen that was any different from yesterday? I woke up, I went to school for eight hours, came home did my homework and now I'm having dinner. I did the exact same thing that I did yesterday, and the day before that and the day before that. What could they possibly expect to be different?
