guys and girls

Ok... so I was sitting at the table having a conversation with two of my friends... one male, one female. I had just finished a whole 'paragraph or so' of words when Mike says - "um what did you just say?! I was listening but all I heard was a bunch of chick talk - I didn't understand a word of it!"
I am telling you it was a moment of epiphany for me! I thought that I was being very clear at that moment - but it just goes to show how differently men and women communicate and how important it is to check in to make sure that you are understood. (most men wouldn't speak up and say that they didn't know what you just said - nor most women for that matter)
Anyhoo just a tidbit to share with you - something to look at the next time you are having a conversation with someone of the opposite sex... how often are we misunderstood??? wow... it was almost more than my mind could handle!
