I say this to my kids all the time! They never stop talking... in fact, half of the people around me never stop talking. It's astounding they ever manage to learn anything, honestly.

- dmix 7y agoSome people just need to voice every thought in their head. The best is when two of these people start rambling to each other, they can go on for hours. I used to date someone who always read everything out loud and talked things out verbally while writing. Which they claimed helped them think but I'm not convinced.

- mwfunk 7y agoNo, that's just people talking at each other. Conversation is when they listen to each other too.
- smhenderson 7y agoI know what you’re saying but when I read the parent comment I couldn’t help but think of an episode of Star Trek where Data and some commander are introduced to each other and they begin to talk for seemingly hours about nothing but trivia. Rather than conversation I think the more appropriate moniker for what the parent comment was describing would be “small talk”.
