Have you subscribed to Communication FUNdamentals’ RSS Feed? Don’t miss a post! x Ending Praise Week with a blast. Foot in Mouth Man has had 150 episodes of communication MISadventures. In the past several years that I've been writing for "himm," FIMM has stuck his foot in his mouth many a time resulting in a backhanded compliment. Here is a FIMM Classic from the early days: Episode 11: FIMM has finally met someone! Bonnie was carrying some heavy grocery bags when FIMM offered to help her carry them to her car. Bonnie was so impressed with FIMM's sweet nature that she agreed to go out with him. They have had three dates already this week! FIMM wrote Bonnie an email to thank her for cooking him...
Have you subscribed to Communication FUNdamentals’ RSS Feed? Don’t miss a post! x It's Good Friday so before I get started with our special Friday Funny Festivities, I want to take some time to wish you all a blessed Good Friday. Today's the day my son and I make Resurrection Cookies and read the Resurrection story in the Bible. Well, as I said, this week is also a very special Friday Funnies week because Foot in Mouth Man's five year anniversary was this past Tuesday. FIMM began his misadventures five years ago this month! April 19th, 2006 to be exact. You can check out FIMM's very first episode along with several other featured episodes here. As FIMM's fame grew we featured...
Foot in Mouth Man (FIMM) is our lovable mascot here at Art of Eloquence. A bumbling miscommunicator who sticks his foot in his mouth each month for your amusement and "confusement." He does it so often that he has Athlete's Tongue! However, there are some people I have encountered recently on social media and blog sites who are vying for the coveted title of FIMMpersonator of the Month and I thought I'd give it out to one lucky winner. Communication doesn't break down significantly if someone has a typo or two and, as my editor knows, I can't spell my way out of a paper "bagg" so I'd never complain if someone had a grammatical error or a misspelled word...

My dd was practically born with a book in her hand. She LOVED reading and was reading on a college level when she was in 3rd grade. My son actually taught himself to read using the computer and DVD subtitles when he was about 2yrs old. So I was shocked that he didn't want to read anything that wasn't computer game instructions! It was like pulling teeth to get Chris to read back then. I tried covering up most of the page so he could only see a line at a time. He knew words that were well beyond his years but he just didn't want to read. Then we found a series of books that were well below his...
