The purpose of this blog is to perk up some ears at the Shabbat table. Please print and share...
This is what happened:
The other day, I scheduled a meeting with someone. I asked him to bring a couple items to the meeting, let's call them X, Y, and Z.
He shows up to the meeting without X, Y and Z.
I ask him, "Why didn't you bring X, Y and Z, as you said you would?"
"I never said that! I NEVER said that. I'm sure I never said that."
"Boy, I wish I had a recording of our conversation...."
4 questions for your table....
Who's right?
More broadly, who's more responsible, the speaker or the listener?
Is this possibly a case of "people hear what they want to hear"?
What's the moral of the story?
Shabbat Shalom
