Word Wednesday Contest


June is Effective Communication Month so, to celebrate, Art of Eloquence is hosting a contest here on the blog where you could win free Art of Eloquence studies of YOUR CHOICE!  Here's how it works: CONTEST RULES/HOW TO ENTER: 1. Submit a family-friendly, funny or sweet story of miscommunication.  The story could have happened to you in "real life," you could have heard about it happening to someone else  OR you could write one out of your own imagination. It can be funny like a Foot in Mouth Man episode or a sweet and inspirational story.  Preferably just a few sentences or a paragraph, but there is no limit to the length if it's a good story. 2. Post them here as a comment on this blog post making sure to leave a valid email address and name so we can contact the winners at the end of the contest. 3. Enter as often as you like, but each entry (a different miscommunication story) must be posted in a separate comment! 4. At the end of the month, I'll post a few of the best stories of miscommunication and ask my readers to vote for their favorite in each of the two categories: Fun and Sweet. 5. It is understood that submissions may be used in future Art of Eloquence marketing.   WHAT YOU CAN WIN: 1. Winners will receive a free Art of Eloquence product of their own choosing! 2. The more entries we have, the more winners we will choose so please pass along the link to this blog post and ask others to enter! NOTE:  Contest is now closed. No more entries will be accepted.  We will be asking our readers to vote on the winners in the next few days! x If you liked this post, make sure to subscribe to our RSS Feed so you don’t miss one and SUBSCRIBE to our newsletter: for even MORE communication fun, FREE gifts, Book of the Month Club and exclusive excerpts and offers we don’t share with ANYONE else but our subscribers! x

    One day we were out at the baseball fields watching my husband play mens modified softball. My 6 yr old was sitting on my lap. We were talking about how odd it was for him and his older brother to be done with their ball seasonsand how its daddys turn to play ball now. I then proceeded to tell him "its in his genes " to play ball…he got quiet then turned around with a puzzled look on his face..then with a straight face replied “But mom…dad and I aren’t even wearing the same type of pants”……needless to say everyone around us busted out in laughter!..
