Communication













The following is a conversation overheard while the two boys were sitting side-by-side at breakfast this morning.

Landon: "Bubba."

No answer.

Landon: "Bubba."

No answer.

Landon: "Bubba."

No answer.

Mom, yelling from the laundry room, "Hayden Luke, answer your brother! He's sitting right next to you."

Hayden, irritated: "What Landon?"

No answer.

Hayden: "What do you need Landon?"

No answer.

Hayden: "Landon, I'm asking you what you want."

No answer.

Hayden: "So I guess you're not talking to me now; is that it?"

No answer.

A deep, deep, exasperated sigh quickly followed as the "ignorer" learned this morning how it felt to be the "ignoree."
