ALL SHE SAYS / Do you see my point?

She asks me what we do in meetings all day.

I say we talk.

She asks me what we talk about.

I say we talk about the work we are going to do.

She asks me why we don’t do the work without talking about the work.

I tell her sometimes you can’t.

She asks me how long you need to talk about the work before you do the work.

I tell her sometimes it takes lots of meetings.

She asks me if this is why I have a calendar.

I say yes this is why I have a calendar.

She asks me how many meetings I have today.

I tell her I have meetings all day.

She asks me if I’ll talk about the work I am going to do all day without doing the work I have to do today.

I tell her yes.

Then she goes to the bathroom. I hear her peeing in the toilet. She never closes the door.

She comes out and she tells me she wants to have a meeting in her room.

I walk in and she’s sitting at the edge of her bed and she’s staring at me and she says nothing.

I ask her what this meeting is about.

She tells me that it’s about her room.

I ask her what about her room we need to have a meeting about.

She tells me that I asked her to clean up her mess.

I tell her I asked her to clean up her mess.

She tells me she wants to have a meeting to talk about how she will clean up her mess.

And tomorrow another meeting.

And another meeting.

And another meeting.

I ask her how many meetings it will take before she does the work.

She stares at me and asks slowly: do you see my point?

Thanks for reading. I, too, did it my way.
