Earlier today my wife and I were discussing taking our younger daughter to see Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. She told me that the movie would start at 1:15 PM but there was another at 2:15. It was just after noon at the time and I was working on something that would take another half hour to finish, which I told her. She wanted to go to the 1:15 show and suggested that I meet them at the movie theater, to which I agreed. I finished what I was doing at about 12:30, took a shower and was surprised to see them still there. After a few minutes I asked about the movie and to my surprise she said to me that we were going to the 2:15 show. We had walked away from the previous discussion with two different understandings of what we were going to do. You would think that something as simple as making movie plans would be easy but miscommunication can occur at any time and during any conversation. The lesson I learned was to make sure to double check arrangements to make sure we are on the same page.
