Communication is conveying a message to a particular person. There is art and skill involved to good communication. Some communicate in a detail-oriented manner (which includes myself) while another can try to be quick and succinct (of which sometimes I try horribly). Others can do it with humor and a few express their ideas through fear (such as in dictators).
Earlier this morning, I sent the following message to my finace:
How are you doing my beloved and engaged partner in crime? I hope you slept well and kept warm. I was overheating yesterday so I left to go out and work. By the way, your brother came home yesterday to close an open window in his car and I didn’t know if you saw him. Anyway, have a beautiful day!
Her response was:
Good morning my beloved energy sharing functioning soul. Thank you for your well wishing on my energy balance level maintenance status. I hope you had a good physical maintenance routine. No, I did not see my genetic similar sharing sibling. I hope you have a positive subjective view of the time frame from 8-5pm also.
I thought it was hilarious, but very thoughtful. It is amazing how different people can express the same message in a variety of ways.
Is there any way you can communicate this message differently? It'd be interesting to see how you convey this point or interpret it.
I just wanted to share this quirky conversation I had with my fiance. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you and have a great time.

Great start & finisher. I read whole article fluently with lots of passion
That is 1 of the funniest things I've ever seen come out of your mouth, lol! Love the communication. My communication style is very quick, with not a lot of details - how different you and I are. I could be a little more detailed, but I think you took all of those genes, brother. Anyhow - the initiator of communication always has the power to control the tone. Since you started a funny, lighthearted, compassionate tone, your fiancee had no choice but to respond in the like. LIke how people say "Good Morning" to a stranger in a high-pitched, happy tone - people have no choice but to reciprocate, even if it's not in their nature. Kudos.
Creative and funny :)
Entertaining FOR SURE!
Love it!
