Christian Communication Training
I found Songdrops while tooling around on YouTube one day. They have some adorable videos and this one has to do with language. Sometimes we say things which are grammatically or otherwise correct, but they are not the most clear way to communicate-thus causing miscommunication or, as in this case, hysterics.
On this Friday Funnies, I present to you, “I Got a Pea.”

I am pre -empting my “A Question of Homeschooling” series of articles this week for a word from This Day in History because it has to do with communication… Tune in to Communication FUNdamentals on Wednesday when we will join our homeschool article series already in progress. ;D
There are many different forms of communication. Words are just what is most often considered. Many an invention has enhanced our communication experience and I’d like to tell you about one of them today. You see, on this day in history is the anniversary of a significant communication event!
The first public telegraph message, “What hath God wrought,” was sent on May 24, 1844 by Samuel Morse in Washington to Alfred Vail at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) “outer depot” (now the B&O Railroad Museum) in Baltimore. The message is a Bible verse from Numbers 23:23, chosen for Morse by Annie Ellsworth, daughter of the Governor of Connecticut. The original paper tape received by Vail in Baltimore is on display in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
Here’s a YouTube video of a documentary I found which has the history (and the two men) behind the telegraph and Morse Code. I bet you didn’t know some of this. I didn’t!

Victor Borge was a fabulously funny man and a talented pianist. I’ve posted his bit “Phonetic Punctuation” before here on Communication FUNdamentals, but I just found this related video with Dean Martin.
The two do “Musical Phonetic Punctuation” where they punctuate the phrases of the following songs. At least Dean Martin tries. Victor Borge is so funny, Dean Martin has a hard time keeping a straight face! Enjoy!
