Ha! I’ve had this happen more than once, where I feel like I finally am beginning to understand something, then realize those around me have been coddling me.
I remember sitting and drawing this. A woman approached, said some complimentary word, and then asked me something. I replied (in French) that I’m sorry, but I don’t speak French. Only later did I realize that a conversationg MIGHT have happened if I had ALSO told her what language I DID speak.
While staying with a friend, I tried turning on the heat in the dark, and the heat was hot radiator heat from a heat-on-demand hot water heater (I do love those things). Anyhow, flood did happen. But boy was the floor clean afterwards.
