Thank you so much. We do seem to hungrily collect shells and take them home with us, but rarely do we ever look at them again. I wonder why. Too sad to revisit maybe because we would wish we were still there? ☺️
Terrific hilarious piece Christine. Here in Australia we’re hearing lots of men talking – men who should know better – men in positions of power and responsibility – men who should be listening instead. Bravo you.
Thanks so much Peter! I’m happy you liked it ☺️ I’m not very good at muttering under my breath when I’m those situations so it seemed a good idea to go on a little trip 🤣
Outstanding, Christine! I love the image of the poor collected, locked away shells.

Yes, we love them as we collect them and remember the special place.
Yes they are special aren’t they? I particularly like collecting little pieces of coral too ☺️
Some of mine are in glass jars, most of them are missing.
Too bad. I wonder where they went 😯
I love it… and there are times when there are so much more interesting things around than someone talking (I guess he talked about himself)
Girl, tell him to shut the heck up and GET TO THAT DAMN BEACH ALREADY 🤷🏻♀️ 🏖🙂. Very Dorothy Parkeresque, lush beautiful poem that is also HILARIOUS.
Lol. Too funny Lona! 🤣🤣 Hope you’re well.
I have known many such men in the airline industry! This is brilliantly executed, Christine 🙂
Oh you too Sanaa?!!! 🤣 Thank you so much 😊
So, I was laughing so much, I knocked the e off your name. 🤣
Lol 🤣🤣. I answer to most things. No worries 😌
😀
I think we’ve all been there! So funny, Christin. Thank you!
Thanks Merril. Indeed we have ! 🤣🤣
I love how you tuned out of this man’s talk and went to your happy place. I was really smiling by the last line!
Thanks Ingrid. It’s funny I found myself actually doing this once when a neighbor would not stop talking. I completely zoned out 🤣
😂 I think we’ve all done it!
And they don’t seem to notice the glazed eyes of their captive audience! Imagination has often rescued me!
Lol 🤣. It’s hard sometimes isn’t it Carol?
Haha, a mind journey to escape a monologue! It happens
It sure does Sadje. You’d think they’d read the signs, wouldn’t you? But nooooooo! 😬
Exactly!

LMAO! I’ve known one or two people like the man. There is no other remedy 😉
Ha! Isn’t it awful? OMG, you almost have to be rude to make them stop. Or do as I did but then you run the risk of m ore of there same! 🤣🤣🤣
