I'll take mine with cream and a little sugar, please.
Dang, I do love a good conversation! A cup of coffee, and yes, have a seat and kick off your shoes and put your feet up.
“Did you see that story about…”
“Really? I didn’t know that…”
“Yep, I was there, heard him say…”
“Hey, thanks for lending me that book…”
Then there are the ones I’d just as soon take a pass on:
“What in hell are you talking about?!”
“Oh, sure, next you’ll tell us…”
“Really? So it’s okay with you that…”
“Whatsa matter, can’t take a little criticism?”
Happily, I get to choose those with whom I converse. I may be in my seventh decade but I still enjoy learning, and I learn the most from the first example, which keeps that door open. Highly preferable to the second example, which teaches only how to close a door.
Just made a fresh pot, mugs are on the counter.
