Essay.

Part of the problem with clarification is that people are worried they will offend others by admitting they did not hear what was originally said. Imagine someone is telling you a story, and something they said reminded you that you were supposed to pick up a few groceries before returning home. A rude way of asking the person to repeat what they said while you became distracted might be: " Hey, I totally wasn't paying attention. What did you just say?" Write an easy worded 8th grade example of a kind way of asking for clarification that would not be offensive. Consider explaining to the person why you became so distracted in the first place. 5-6 sentences

Sorry, I missed that last part — could you say it again? I got distracted because I suddenly remembered I need to pick up groceries before I go home. My mind wandered for a second, but I really want to hear what you were saying. Could you repeat the part about the plan? Thanks, I appreciate you going over it again.
