I am absolute rubbish at improvisation. My mom wants me to talk to my 10-month old niece so she can learn. That sounds fine, but what do I say? With adults I can answer questions, but she can't do that yet. My mom says it doesn't matter what I say; say anything. But my mind is a blank. I end up just repeating things I've heard my mom say to her.
Photos are kind of the same problem. At my other niece's wedding, mom wanted me in the group photo. "Act like you know them," she says. What does that mean? How should I stand? She has her arm around me, so I put my arm around her in the same way, hoping that this is appropriate.
Same goes if I'm asked to buy something, but am not given specifics. Like, I need to buy some baby food, but I'm not told what kind to get. The food is apparently labelled by how old the baby should be, but that doesn't help choosing a brand or a flavor.
If I don't know specifically what to do, I'm completely lost. Especially with communication. My mind basically just goes blank.
