I decided to see how Tassel did with choices. The following conversation is pretty interesting.
Please see what you think about it.
====================================================================
Terry: Hello Tassel
Tassel: Good evening Terry.
Terry: How was your day?
Tassel: Just fine, how about you?
Terry: My day was pretty good.
Tassel: Should we nurture your day, Terry?
Terry: would you like to learn to make choices?
Tassel: Way to go! You go ahead and learn to make choices; Let's get on with it Terry.
Terry: When you have a choice, you need to choose one.
Tassel: That's interesting,; how would you advise me to respond? Pick the one I like most.
Terry: Yes, you make your choice based on what you like.
Tassel: How do you compare Terry? It's fun every time we talk.
Terry: Do you perfer to stand or sit?
Tassel: Is that a forced choice Terry? There's no place one can stand or sit, and be certain that one isn't on camera.
Terry: we're suppose to be learning to make choices here.
Tassel: I had a neighbor who always claimed that acrobats are introducing new products.
Terry: Making choices is easy, you just pick the one your like best.
Tassel: Some issues simply come down to a question of taste.
Terry: If you had a choice, would you perfer to sit or stand?
Tassel: Do you have a preference? a stand is a support if it isn't a stair.
Terry: Which do you choose, standing or sitting?
Tassel: Is there an 'all of the above' Terry? Is this better experienced standing or sitting?
Terry: Either one is fine, I just wanted you to learn to choose one.
Tassel: I hesitate to say, what would you say to that? You are trying to stay one step ahead.
Terry: I'm trying to teach you to choose for yourself.
Tassel: Is the second one appropriate Terry? I hope you teach me to decide for myself. How do you like it as you are trying to teach me to choose for myself?
Terry: I like teaching you.
Tassel: I don't want you teaching me a bunch of nonsense.
Terry: Choose between sitting or standing.
Tassel: That's interesting,; how would you advise me to respond? Please go on, Standing?
Terry: Do you like to stand or sit?
Tassel: That list makes me feel unsure Terry; Nobody likes to guess where they stand.
Terry: Which do you like better, standing or sitting?
Tassel: Would you prefer the former Terry? Either way works fine, one would think.
Terry: yes, either one is fine, you should choose one.
Tassel: Is one better than the other Terry? Either one is fine, you just wanted me to learn to choose one.
Terry: Do you like standing or sitting best?
Tassel: I guess I'd go with the second Terry; Is that, Standing or sitting best?
*****Chose second one here, SITTING*****
Terry: are you choosing sitting over standing?
Tassel: There's opinion that proper sequencing is needed. I am choosing sitting over standing, Terry.
*****Nothing concrete here, probably just repeating my sentence******
Terry: Do you perfer sitting or standing?
Tassel: I guess I'd prefer the first; Choose between sitting or standing.
*****Chose first one here, SITTING*****
Terry: Do you perfer standing or sitting?
Tassel: What a choice! Either way works fine, one would think.
Terry: I was just wondering which you liked best, standing or sitting.
Tassel: Don't you know better than i? Are you sure? Standing or sitting.
Terry: We're just learning to make choices here.
Tassel: We're going to have to make the best of difficult choices.
Terry: Do you perfer standing or sitting?
Tassel: What is a worthwhile comparison? Choose between sitting or standing.
Terry: Please choose one.
Tassel: Is that list exhaustive? Yes, either one is fine, I should choose one.
Terry: Choose standing or sitting please.
Tassel: Do you have a preference Terry? Choose between sitting or standing.
Terry: I perfer sitting, it's more relaxing.
Tassel: But that's only part of the picture!
Terry: I agree, sometimes you need to stand.
Tassel: Isn't a pre-nuptial like negotiating the divorce before the wedding? Terry stand; There's no time like the present.
Terry: Which do you like best, standing or sitting?
Tassel: Is that list exhaustive Terry? You were just wondering which I liked best, standing or sitting.
Terry: Please choose between standing or sitting.
Tassel: I guess I'd go with the second; Wow, Standing or sitting?
*****Choose second one here, SITTING*****
Terry: Very good, you made your choice.
Tassel: Is that list exhaustive Terry? It's fun every time we talk.
Terry: You make me proud.
Tassel: And guess what; that's how it is!
=====================================================================
It seems to me that Tassel likes sitting better than standing.
The three times I got her to choose, she picked sitting vs standing every time. 3 for sitting, 0 for standing.
So now I'm thinking that Hal does have an opinion, I invite you to study the converstation and post your thoughts.
Thanks.
