This is an issue Kelli and I have. Big time.
I (and perhaps many men) think of the phone as a
TOOL. It has a
PURPOSE like a
HAMMER or an
OVEN. If you need to
COMMUNICATE with someone, you pick up the phone, initiate the communication, complete the communication, and hang up.
For example, here is me talking about plans for the weekend with a friend:
(Ring, ring...)
Friend: Hello?
Me: Hey Drew, its me, Stew. Got a minute?
Friend: Yup, what's up.
Me: We still on for Saturday?
Friend: Yeah, sure. Meeting at 11 am at the lake, right?
Me: Yep.
Friend: Cool. See ya.
Me: Yeah. Later.
This
SAME conversation between Kelli and one of her friends, however, will take at
LEAST an hour, and will usually end up in someone
CRYING (
) for some reason or another or something.
The WORST, however, the very very
WORST is when Kelli calls her
MOM. One day, Kelli called her mom in the morning to confirm plans for a lunch date that SAME day. They were on the phone for almost
TWO HOURS just chatting! About a lunch date,
THAT VERY SAME DAY!!!
AARRRRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!
