Re: Lack of eye contact - Martha

[Guest guest]

Hi Martha~

What a great idea! What do I say when she tells me, " I listen with my ears and

not my eyes? " >>> or something like that? As precousious as Kayla is, I am

sure to hear something to that effect!!! I usually laugh, not right I know,

but kids can say the funniest and darnest things! Thanks for the idea, I plan

to use it. Take care,

Aunt in Wa. State

What a wonderful aunt you are! I wish my sisters were

so concerned about my kids! Well, if she challenges

you on this, I bet you could convince her that for you

(or anyone else) to know that she's ready to listen,

that you need to see her eyes. Yes, she listens with

her ears, but they look the same, whether they're

ready to listen or not!

What do you think of that one?

Martha
