Now Hear This
A man suspected that his wife was having a hearing problem.
One night he positioned himself across the room from her as she sat in her favorite chair, her back to him. Softly he asked, “Can you hear me?” When he didn’t get an answer, he moved closer and repeated, “Can you hear me?”
Still no answer.
He moved closer again and asked, “Can you hear me?” Finally he repeated his question from directly behind his wife’s chair, to which she responded, “For the fourth time, yes!”
