The Honda Civic DX hatchback my mom bought in 1985 got 40 mpg.

2023 Honda Civic LX gets... 35 mpg.

My wife's followup to her surgery for a broken foot was impacted because none of the X-ray technicians were present.

I don't think a chatbot is going to replace an X-ray technician.

I'd imagine that after the first day, just "Hey, how's it going?" or such is going to be fine. If they're anything like my 8 and 11 year old, they'll either ignore you completely, or talk to you incessantly. So long as you don't just completely ignore them, acknowledge their presence, and respond to them when they attempt to interact with you, you'll be fine. It's their house, you shouldn't feel the need to act like their personal entertainment unit :)

I tend to just talk to other people's kids (and mine) as if they were adults. I absolutely detest it when people speak to my kids in those high pitched sing-songy voices, and so do my kids.

Don't fake or force anything. For a younger kid like the 3 year old, I might squat down or kneel so as to be at eye level with them. Sure, the 3 year old probably won't be the best conversationalist or have similar interests to you. But if you can make small talk with an adult, you can ask a child what interests them or what they did recently that they thought was neat. Maybe they'll talk about a show they watched recently and you can ask who their favorite character is and why.

Children are just adults with fewer experiences and different concerns.
