Why not say five words, when one will do?

My husband is the one-word king , and I'm the Ten. (What say, Vijay?) Or as he says, making a long story longer.
Actually ,I have noticed , a lot of 'you know', 'and then' etc when I write. What happened to crisp prose ? I think I write now as I talk . And, it seems, sigh , I talk a lot.
Remind me ,when I next see someone's eye glaze over in the middle of a really interesting (for me, that is) anecdote.

Crisp.
Charles Lamb, Francis Bacon, Erma Bombeck , here I come.
