Mom: Busy? Cathy: No! Mom: Hi, Cathy. Are you sitting down? Cathy: Why?? What happened, Mom?? Mom: I need to know you're sitting. Cathy: OK! I'll sit! What is it?? Mom: You're not sitting and eating? Cathy: No! Mom: Not sitting and driving? Cathy: No! Mom: Not sitting and watching TV? Cathy: No! Mom: Not sitting and browsing the worldwide web? Cathy: No! I'm just sitting here talking to you, Mom! What is it?? Tell me what it is!! Mom: This is it! Cathy: What's it?? Mom: i just wanted to sit and talk when you weren't busy doing something else! Cathy: What?? Mom: Ahah! Do I hear chips being opened?? Cathy: What do you mean, just sit and talk??! Beyond "multi-tasking," an even bigger challenge: "single-tasking".
Well…another way to look at it is if your Mom was at your house, you would probably be eating something together, watching tv together, doing some project together….. so why is it so important to have someone’s undivided attention when they are talking on the phone? Just wondering.Not sure what the condition of the driver was in the runaway truck, lightenup. All I’ve seen so far is the small paragraph in the Detroit paper about it…our local paper doesn’t come out until Wednesday, so unless I manage to talk to somebody in the know, I won’t know anymore about the accident until then. I did see a funny one on FB today…in Detroit over the past ten days we have had temps as high as 73, as low as 14, it has rained, snowed, sleeted, hailed and we had an earthquake.
