I shared a recent blog post with an artist friend and he shared a painting with me.
He enjoyed my post and I loved his painting.
Then he mentioned he was getting it ready for competition.
I told him I was glad it would have a public viewing and that the judges should be quite taken by it.
“Isn’t there somewhere in the bible about there being only one lawgiver and judge?” he said.
“That’s only for sinners. Paintings are other creatures altogether,” I said.
“Oh,” he said, “I thought you were going on about your blog getting a public showing/judges etc., and not my painting!”
Huh?
This is how most of us communicate.
Each one out of his own head.
Like two planes on different flight paths.
Is it any wonder we have craziness in our everyday with people?
Alf is fond of telling me I speak a different language than he.
I suppose he’s right.
My first language is Spanish, he’s is English. There’s a continent separating us.
That probably explains why we’ve been together for so long.
We’re still discovering who the stranger is we married.
Calvin says, “Actually you speak better Beagle than English.”
Here’s what bothers me. English is my first language, ad you speak it better than I do.
I went to British schools and learned the proper Queen’s English!
::sigh:: That explains a LOT. 😉
