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!

My daughters LOVE the “BAM” man as they called him. Emeril the chef. One night, my 8 year old daughter was over hearing a conversation between my husband and myself as to where we should plan our next family vacation. I thought it would be awesome to take them to a taping of his show. I said “Oh I know where we should go! The kids will just die! We should go…” and then my daughter was screaming hysterically. When we finally calmed her down, we realized she literally thought we were going to take the kids somewhere to die. We read a LOT of Amelia Bedilia books after that! :D
