Two Sides to the Story
Is it any wonder communication fails?
Her version of the story:
R: I thought of something else you should get at the store.
L: Ok.
R. Hum.
L: I’m getting a pad.
L: What was it?
R: What was it?
L: What was what?
L: What you wanted to me to get?
R: I thought you wrote it down?
L: Wrote what down?
R: Gum
My side:
R: I thought of something else you should get at the store.
L: Ok.
R: Gum.
L: I’m writing it down.
L: What was it?
R: What was what?
L: What you wanted to me to get?
R: I thought you wrote it down?
L: Wrote what down?
R: Gum

Hi Becky,
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
I’m a totally different Ray Baxter. I’ve been through Iowa a few times, but I’m from Kentucky.
I overheard this conversation on the telephone. I’m R.
Imagine the difficulties that L and have when we are talking about complex subjects.
