Listen with your face! In other words, look at your mate when they talk. One day, when my youngest Zach was about 5 or 6, he walked into the kitchen and said, “Daddy?” I was reading so, without looking up I said, “uh, huh.” He said, “Daddy?” I said, without looking up, “Yes.” He said, “Daddy?” Finally in exasperation I said, “What? Zach, I don’t have to be looking at you to hear you.” True, but I need to be looking at him when I’m really listening! Fella’s put down the remote, put down the paper, girls, get off the phone and listen with your face.
