His reason for calling a doctor was because he feared his wife wasn’t hearing as well as she used to as he thought she hardly gives answer to most questions been asked and even when ahe finally does that it has to be done loudly as it is well understood that if you hear your self it means the other person is also in position to hear you. In regard to this issue he thought she might need a hearing aid to help her hearing. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.
Here’s what you do,” said the Doctor, “stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and s o on until you get a response.”
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen preparing dinner for the family, and he was in the sitting room. He says to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.” Then in a normal tone he asks, ‘sweetheart what are you preparing for dinner?” No response.
So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Honey, what are you for dinner?” Still there was no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what are you preparing for dinner?”
Again he gets no response so, He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what are you preparing for dinner?” Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. “Honey, what are you preparing for dinner?”
“Sammy" for the FIFTH time I’ve said, CHICKEN and fried rice!”
Morals:The problem may not be with the other one as we always think, could be very much within us..!
Always check on your self be sure you are not the problem before you allocate one to someone.
