You all know that Hn advises that we should be quiet and not interrupt the
patient during case taking.

I hope this little story helps to drive the point home as well as make you
smile.

Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into t he woods with
Aunt Jane.
I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss. Then He helped
her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then
Aunt Jane........"

At this point Mommy cut him off and said, "Johnny, this is such an
interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want
to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight."!

At the dinner table, Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story. Johnny
started his story, "I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into
the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a
big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy
take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing
that Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army."

Moral: Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story before you interrupt
