Every Story Runs Itself Back

Every story runs itself back to her. If I use the word gray, she is thinking of buying a gray car. If I say “spot” she has one on the rug that is annoying her. No matter what the conversation is, she takes the verbal football And runs with it across the field, running every story back to her. Many have turned their backs. I stay for her stories. Knowing she does not have that many left.

(chuckling) Ever try using some fifty cent words she doesn't know (or understand) and see how she runs with them??? You can also set her up so easily...but why? Just enjoy her lack of initiatory skills.

I feel sorry for her - she needs so much attention
