I hope I'm posting this in the right place, I really don't want any trouble :-)
A couple of days ago my aunt contacted me on the phone, and asked me if I could help out a little girl with something for school. I told her that I would try, but I can't promise anything, especially since she didn't know what the problem was, so I couldn't look into it.
Since there are about 10 years between the girl and me, i also had my doubts about it... my school years were long gone,.
Anyway, when I got there I had to check out her book to see what it was about, and after a few minutes of reading I realized that i actually know the topic quite well. It was all very logical in my mind.
But then, when it came to explaining it to her, it was very awkward, a few times I even managed to confuse myself. In the end we did some exercizes, until she seemed to at least have a clue.
So what I want to know is howcome we make fools of ourself all the time when it comes to talking?
