a.Have a "family-check" or something similar so that you maintain a list of family
members such as mother, father, sister, sibling, etc, and when this family member
name comes up anywhere in the input you put it in the queue along with whatever
question you want to ask.
Example:
Your input
"I saw my sister on the roof of our house."
The response
"Let us go back to your remark about your <family member name>"
b. you maintain a list of verbs to check which you put into a queue. You will either
give a bland or a cheerful response. (These should be alternating among a list of
several adjectives such as "marvelous", "wonderful", "super", etc.)
Example:
Your input:
"I skateboarded in the pond behind our house." (skateboard* is a verb to check)
The immediate response (if using cheerful mode):
"How marvelous that you can skateboard."
and put on the queue (for later use) would be:
"Let us go back to skateboarding"
