I've started to notice just how much I don't really give the answer to a question when it's asked. I started to notice it in myself because I first started to see it in everyone around me.
When I sent this to Beth I immediately thought of what she might reply with: "Please don't throw those away I'm going to use them for a craft for Selah!" or, "I'm sorry I meant to throw them out but I just forgot!"
What I'm afraid that she doesn't yet know about, is that my question was sent with the simple expectation for a "yes" or "no". And I'm afraid that my tendency to always ask her to explain herself will be the cause of it.
I want to start listening to the question that's asked. I feel like anything more is just noise.

I tend to ask a whole series of questions before Jeremy has a chance to answer the first one. What's up with that? Me thinks me mind works too much... :^P
