Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 ROTFLOL, Oh My, that was too cute. Did you ask him if he was interested, or if he was just repeating what you had told him? Barbara Kathy Winters <rwinters@...> wrote:Hi all, A couple weeks ago I had a conversation with and explained to him that is was important to ask questions in conversations so people feel that you're interested in them. He was quite surprised to learn that often people will ask questions like " How was your day? " and " How are you? " just to make polite social conversation and not necessarily because they want to know. Today I worked in his middle school library. When we got in the car after school, he asked me, " How did it go in the library? " I was floored!!! This was the first time he has ever asked me about my day!!! So I briefly told him about it. Then I said, " , thank you for asking about my day in the library. It really made me happy. " And he replied, " Yeah, I remembered how you told me it's important to ask people questions about their day, even if you don't really care. " ROFLOL!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hi all, Barbara, I laughed. I'm sure that he wasn't interested!!! But he took great pleasure in my laughter and in my recounting the story to my husband, and claims that he said it intentionally to make me laugh. That may very well be so, but I also think that he really was just asking to be polite. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 My husband - who I really think is AS - comes home and tells me all kinds of stuff about work. Some of it - I get - Some of it - I don't - and some of it - I really could care less. But the worst part is - he will tell me the same story about 3 - 4 times. If he has a contract or an addendum, he has to show it to me. If he has blueprints or specs or a letter, he has to show it to me. I really do my best to seem interested, some of it is interesting, but only the FIRST time. LOL!!!!! Oh well, I do my best to be nice. I figure I should treat him like I want Bradley's future wife to treat him. Love and patience. LOTS and LOTS of patience. ) Dawn Kathy, That is all too classic! So cute/funny! Thanks so much for sharing. (But you know, there are a lot of husbands out there that feel the same sometimes, too. LOL!)

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Dawn, My husband does the same thing to me and our friends. Since he works for Kraft foods its how many boxes of stove top or jello that fit on a pallet, and how many pallet s fit on the forklift etc. Like you said the first time you hear it is fine, but after the fourth or fifth time I tune him out. In fact our friends will not answer the phone if they see our number on the caller ID. I have to leave a message and they will call me back because they are afraid that its Harry, who also has the gift of gab.

My son would be in heaven! LOL!!! btw, my parents do that repeating stories as well as my dh....I just stop them and say, " oh yeah....you told me about that " (still seeming interested and done in a nice voice, but it lets them know). When they are with other people I just grin and bear it. Afterall the important thing is he is making conversation and that doesn't happen too often J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 lol not positive about that, however I have heard it said that some pet owners look like their pets.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 From time to time, I watch the baby shows on TLC and my 6 year old happened to walk into the room as a baby on TV was being born. He stopped, looked at the baby who was born with the assistance of a vacuum (so the head was mishapen) and said, " Oh, that baby is sooooo going to need a helmet. " I just cracked up and had to share the wisdom of my 6 year old with all the plagio families! Griffith Gavin's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 So funny. I think that show is great. Have a nice week and hopefully when my son is 86 he will look back at the helmet experience and feel the same about it as your daughter does!
