LET'S TALK

When two people take the time to talk to one another amazing things can happen. We don't truly know what the other person wants and expects of us unless they TELL us. They don't know our desires and expectations unless we TELLthem. How often have we felt let down because someone did not respond to an expectation we had of them only to learn later that they weren't aware of the expectation?

A couple celebrates their golden wedding  anniversary. At breakfast the woman thinks: "For fifty years I have taken care of my husband and given him the crunchy upper part of the bun. Today I'm going to have it for myself. " She butters the upper part of the bun and gives the other half to her husband. "My dear", he says with such pleasure, "what a gorgeous morning! For fifty years I haven't eaten the lower part of the bun although I enjoy it the most. I have always  thought I'd let you have the lower part of the bun because you enjoy it as much as I do. "
