Social Skill Learners Gifts

'The problem with being a hermit crab is that I lack social skills...'

"So, what do you do for play?"

'Now that we've evolved, we should work on our people skills.'

How to Do Small Talk??!!

"I think it’s time we started holding other kids’ hands."

"I know - it takes skill to sneak a peek at their tiny tags when you can't remember their names."

"Develop your social skills. Share information about yourself so people will want to talk to you." "I like to dissect animals."

'We're not interested in how you work with people, just computers.'

"Please try not to offer expert analysis."

"This one? This one? Listen, make up your mind, or I;m picking out a flea for you."

'You're trying to find yourself? -- No offense, but if I were you, I'd look for somebody ELSE.'

"Come on Hugh, you know you have to wallow in the mud hole before sitting down at the table."

"I would share, but I'm not there developmentally."

Coming Soon: The G.P.S. for Conversations

Yossi's mother couldn't understand why he was struggling socially.

'Now that we've evolved, we should work on our people skills.'

"I just don't know if I have the energy to meet new people."

"I don't believe you can't get close to anyone, Mr Jones. Get back over your own side."

I knew a guy who was born with a sidelong glance. . .

"Are you talking to me?"

'I'd like to discuss your child's inability to interact with other children around him.'

"Ms. Sims and I have known each other for quite some time, but it turns out we aren't on a first-name basis."

'Oh, please and thank you work okay, but I miss the old days as a baby when a blood-curdling shriek could get immediate service.'

"You're a people pleaser. We could work on that, but then no one would like you."

"Today's alpha-lesson is 'become a vapor.' Wherever you are, be it a broom closet or a baseball stadium, carry yourself as if your body fills the entire room. Greet people with your arms out wide. Have a wide stance. A booming laugh. A wide open smile. Becoming a vapor is the best and most legal way to mark your territory."

"It's our third date, can we look at each other now?"

"Waiter, our son is a tasteless schmuck!"

"My super powers are listening and downsizing my life."

"It's context aware, so it can tap your wrist when you're about to put your foot in your mouth."

"I'm not used to communicating face-to-face. Can we conduct this interview via text?"

"Mum says I've got to thank you if you gave me anything."

Socially awkward shipwrecks.

'We've only seen your house from outside. You'd never guess that it was nice inside.'

'Wouldn't you like to go outside and interface with some of the other children?'
