I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully.
Most people never listen.
~ Ernest Hemingway

I sometimes am not sure if I am not a good listener or if I have a hearing problem. Or both. Or just a lack of attention. Which could mean I am not a good listener.
Anyway, the other day Patty came in and I swore she said, "So, lyin' sack-a..."
I said, "WHAT did you say?!"
She said, "I said, 'So, July second.'"
I laughed and said that I had misheard her and told her what I thought she said. And then she said, "Butt wipe--!" but I interrupted her and I asked, "WHAT did you say?!"
She said, "' 'Bout like--'"
I'm not sure if this says that I am a bad listener or if I just think that Patty has a potty mouth and likes to call me names. Probably some of each.
