My Daughter’s ‘Most Talkative’ Award Was Actually Pretty Offensive “I didn’t think her award was funny. It’s been three years, and I still don’t.”
, my life is never dull, and her constant chatter will help her. Having a voice will take her far.
Of course, I didn’t realize she was “different” until school started. I mean, she was always vocal. She began speaking at an early age, stringing words and thoughts together with ease. She asked questions constantly, like “why is the sky blue?” and “why are trees green?” And shewe went, from the park and playground to the grocery store. But I didn’t notice she was “exceptional” in this department until pre-K, when she was awarded the title of “most talkative” at the end of the school year.
how she was. But I didn’t think her award was funny. It’s been three years, and I still don’t. Why? Because her voice emboldens her. It empowers her, and her inquisitive nature will help her, in school and life and in the big ol’ world beyond.and quiet; coy and demure. Both history and popular media depict loudness as a detriment, particularly when it comes to women. Loud women are defiant. We also aren’t “good.” Falling in line means sitting with our arms folded and mouths closed.
Make no mistake: At times, her incessant talking is obnoxious, particularly during a movie or if we are watching a TV show. There are moments when I wish for silence, not only from her but in my home, and when she comes bursting into my room at 3:00am to tell me an elaborate story I want to scream. The “gift of gab” can be a curse. Plus, some people will inevitably find her off-putting and overwhelming. Because she is a chatterbox, she will not be everyone’s cup of tea.
But I pray my daughter stays bold and brazen. I pray she stays loud and proud, and I hope she keeps asking questions. May she always speak up and out and raise her hand. Because her thoughts aren’t a burden, her voice isn’t a bother, and her talkative nature isn’t a detriment; it is a strength. There is power in her words, and I never want her to feel like she has to be silent.
