An improv moment is when you get to perform "yes and" in real life. We walk up the steps of this cool home-made-gallery to get free "plates" they are sponsoring from terrific chefs. On Wed. they were out of takeout containers.
Me: Oh, we have some.
Her: We have take out container with us? In the trunk?
[thus, a missed improv moment—the presupposition is that I know there are some in the trunk that she doesn't know about, apparently, though they've been there for months.]
Alternative take:
Me: Oh, we have some.
Her: Yes, please go get them. Don't get my grandmother's Corning; don't want to risk tripping and dropping them."
May you get traction on your list.
