Nobody listens.When working on a project we would book a conference room in hopes of having an hour of uninterrupted discussion and planning. Alas it was not to be. There was always something that needed immediate attention and our meeting would be interrupted. One day we heard a knock at the door and one of our team members called out “GO AWAY?”. The door opened. This became a running joke at our meetings. Knock at door, “GO AWAY?”, Door opens.Nobody listens.
I discovered one of those secrets of the universe – my wife says important stuff only when I am occupied with something moderately important. She does not send important stuff in an email or anything where I might have a second chance to discover it.
My husband only listens to every other word I say. Then when I ask him a question about it, he gives me some off the wall answer. When I, then, tell him what it was about, we have some great laughs. Keeps life fun.
Did you say something?.Oh, were you talking to me? What was it you wanted?.I do talk to myself once in a while. I heard it said, it’s ok as long as I don’t answer myself..I might be in trouble now…

My Husband doesn’t listen! He claims men can’t hear a woman’s voice, that all they hear is static. Even read me the article. Hmmmph….

It depends on who’s doing the talking.

Listen, yes. To believe, I have to watch. Never mind what they say, watch what they do.

I will listen to it, I will hear it, just don’t expect me to believe it anymore. You can fool me a few times, but I draw the line at 6. :-)
