He thanked me - and then went right back to interrupting!

I think she does it so she can show that she relates to the person she's talking too. She comes across as pushy and self-centered. <br />Unfortunately, I have found myself trying to do that too. I've had to try to just keep my mouth shut and let other people talk. It's not so easy when that's what you know.VandyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874470026207258769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198460211087859887.post-23788431354360965112011-08-11T04:22:19.928-07:002011-08-11T04:22:19.928-07:00I struggle with this one also though I have to say...I struggle with this one also though I have to say I am not as bad as the husband is or maybe he does it just with me. I'm forever telling him that question a question in the middle of my tale is distracting and annoying. Then again, maybe it's because my tale is boring. Hmmmm...
