Exercise # 197 - Saying No & Not Saying No (Pt. 2) This is Part II of a dialogue/ character exercise (if you haven't done Part I , not to worry.) Imagine a very pushy mother who is telephoning other parents with children at her child's school to get them to help with a special project that she alone has decided is of utmost importance. Some are better at saying no than others. In today's exercise, write the dialogue for the telephone conversation between Pushy Mother and a parent who not only refuses to help out, but by sheer force of will and charisma manages to talk the pushy mother into doing something no one else could possibly convince her to do. Hmm... This one is going to be tricky... 1,2,3, GO!!
