" Don't get tomatoes, brinjals, and potatoes, get coconuts, beans, and cauliflower ". With these orders I was off to the market, gaily waving to the kids and others on the way.
Was back in nearly an hour, as gay and jovial as at the start. ( the grin was a bit wider)
Getting ready to leave for work, I realised something was amiss, " Something wrong ? did I forget something ?".
My lady looked from the bag stand, "you have got the whole list, the ones I wanted, and the ones, not wanted."
Nature has got strange ways of infusing things into us, and one of them is blocking, the negative "do not".
The next time you make requests, you know how you will phrase to get things done right, right?
When travelling on the highway you notice many a large vehicle with a slogan, " Do not drink and drive" Now you know why many a driver stops at a liquor pub, before continuing the journey.
And the children always make it a point to do what you tell them not to do.
Let us change our orders, before we blame the orderlies.
P. S.
Please make comments.
