Great Conversationalist?

Maybe we really did, "learn everything we needed to know in kindergarten." Well, the important stuff anyway. Favorite question to ask someone during a conversation ( for me ) is simply "why." To keep a conversation going, and keep it interesting is to ask questions. What's more fundamental than why?

Do you share my view? What are your favorite questions? Why?

I like to use "How" with people, as in how are you doing, how is your family, how was your day, how do you handle certain situations, how did something happen, etc.. "Why" is also a great question.

How did you like my answer, and if you didn't, why?😀
