So call me stupid, but I make a list of things I want to ask about before I call him. I do the same thing before I go through the drive-thru. Preparing ahead of time helps me feel less frazzled when the time for action comes. Because when I get put on the spot, I end up either looking like an idiot or letting my true personality shine through—impatient and slightly abrasive. I don’t mean to come off that way; I just get flustered and those things come out.
