Today’s edition of the Carnival Of Family Life is being held at Play Library.
My entry entitled, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, is a piece I wrote during a time when everyone around me was telling me WAY TOO MUCH about things I preferred not know about. Like, “Well since I’m here checking your basement for rats, let me vomit up every single piece of information I ever learned in rat catching school for your listening enjoyment.” Ugh!

I need this. Unfortunately, as a therapist there are probably issues with this clause. But I really DO NOT NEED to do therapy on the girl waxing my eyebrows as she is making choices about her boyfriend’s drinking and her unborn child. I feel your pain sister. And I think the conversation etiquette rules are all null and void when someone uses the phrase “in rat catching school” in their sentence…

Well, I can certainly understand where you are coming from, but I find I am too often in the “Need to Know” category. However, that does not automatically entail that I fall into the “Need to Tell” category.
Administrator says
Yes, there is definitely a difference between the two!
