Dearest Daughter, I have a word for you that I'd like you to REALLY understand the meaning of. That word is "context". I've listed the dictionary definition below, but what we're looking for when we ask questions of you, is an answer with context.
For example, if I ask you which movie you'd like to see, "New Moon" or "Inviticus", don't just answer with "New Moon". Try giving an answer along the lines of: "New Moon, Dad! I'm for Team Edward, and I don't care about rugby."
One word answers and ambiguous Facebook status updates by themselves are not informative, and lack context. I'll stop asking multiple questions of you if you can give me answers with context so I can understand.
All my love, Dad
