niece asked me to go over her report...
me: 'it's too wordy... is there a minimum number of words? are you required, for example, to write something in no less than 500 words?'
niece: 'no, tita...'
me: 'then let's trim this... when you don't really know what you want to say, you tend to use a lot of words... when you know exactly what you want to say, you can distill your message into just a few words... let's take this sentence... it's too long... what exactly are you trying to say here? what is your main point?'
niece chuckles: 'actually, i'm not sure, tita...'
wahaha... see! ; p
