Some of us know that men are not all stellar communicators. This was proven in our house the other day when I overheard this conversation between Jeremiah and Isaiah. I could NOT stand it and had to interject.
Isaiah: "Dad, where is the umbrella?" (speaking about the big umbrella that goes over our patio table)
Jeremiah: "It broke."
Isaiah: "Where is the umbrella?'
Jeremiah: "It broke."
Isaiah: "NO! Where IIIIISSSS the umbrella?"
Jeremiah: "I don't think you understand what I'm saying. It's broken."
Me: "No, honey, I don't think YOU understand what HE'S asking. He said WHERE is the umbrella. Not what happened to it. Please tell him it's in the fire pit for us to burn since it broke."
Jeremiah: "It's in the fire pit so we can burn it because it broke in the storm the other night."
Isaiah: "Ok." (walks away, content)
Whew. That was painful.
