Little Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace.

 

Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could hardly contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother. ‘Mummy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, and then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane...'

 

At this point Mummy cut him off and said, 'Johnny, this is such an interesting story, let’s save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight.'

 

At the dinner table that evening, Mummy asked little Johnny to tell his story Johnny started his story, 'I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, and then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mummy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was away on the oil rigs.'

 

Mummy fainted!

 

Moral:  Sometimes you need to just shut up and listen to the whole story before you interrupt!

Your story reminds me of the old radio announcer, Paul Harvey, and his quip "and now for the rest of the story." Learn to listen to the whole story! Enjoy the day!

I used to think that when kids are little you really have to listen to what they are saying to get the whole story.  Now that they have grown up I still have to listen to the whole story before I know what they are saying.

Does it ever end?

But we do need to listen to what folks are saying to fully understand what they are saying for sure.
