I will work on my idea this weekend!

Here's my entry, inspired by my daughter coming with me to the Brussels edition of Discovery Summit Europe. As you can see, I put the teenage Abigail to work.

"Tell me without telling me" is a social media challenge that's been trending for years, evidently, yet I just learned about it. Whether this is new to you or old news, keep reading, please.

For Mother's Day and Father's Day, we'd like to share social media posts created in the theme of "tell me without telling me."

First, I'll explain the concept of "telling without telling:" it's about getting an idea across with images and/or words that illustrate an idea without explicitly using those words. Examples...

Imagine someone said to me, "Tell me without telling me that your dogs rule the house." To answer that challenge, I might share a couple photos of my dog taking over or a video of my dog stealing food from my plate. See the image at the bottom of the story.
Someone might say, "Tell me you love dragons without telling me." I'd show them photos of dragons in my yard -- like in this photo.
Learn more about the idea of "tell me without telling me" at this external web page.

Now, I'll explain what we're looking for: How would you tell someone (without telling them) that you're a JMP mom or a JMP dad?

When we say JMP mom or JMP dad, we mean that JMP staffers who nurture and care for others -- that's all of us! We can be as inclusive and this team wants -- no need to limit ourselves to the traditional definitions.

Put your ideas into the comment boxes below. Better yet, put your words, images and/or videos in the boxes below. All ideas are welcome. Those of you who come up with the most popular entries (determined by the most "likes" they get) will receive a surprise gift for your effort.

Have fun and get creative!!!

Please note that by uploading your ideas, images, videos, etc. we have your permission to use them for external JMP promotions around Mother's Day and Father's Day. Thank you!

This is how I could "tell without telling" about my dog being the boss.This is how I could "tell without telling" about my dog being the boss.

Captured sometime early this baseball season. Check out the JMP jacket! How's that for product placement?
