If You Want To Miscommunicate

If you want harsh feelings
If you strive to miscommunicate
If you adore confrontation
If you want hatred to call you out
If your brain is disengaged
If you do not remember how harsh written words are
If you love to miscommunicate
Text someone

Let me just quote Ralph Cramden here, "Pow, right in the kisser!" This fits soooo well; we are losing our communication skills.

Laughing my head off here. (btw: I've never texted, and don't plan on starting). Thanks, Caren

I do only because two of my daughters are busy moms who only text. It is their WAY to communicate.

Ha ha! Exactly! Tone of voice is completely lost in a text.

So many misunderstood feelings in tweets, texts, and emails.

Ha! So true! I often try to read the emotions behind the words and I am so often flat-out wrong! Nothing beats a face to face conversation but a phone call still works much better than a text...

Face-to-face, belly-to-belly, avoids so much trouble!

What a challenge! Words can hurt or even kill someone when intentionally are misused dear, Caren!
