By “he said, she said” I was referring to the kind of conversation where one person says something, the other person misinterprets it, and it causes a chain of effects. The conversation can go back and forth as they try to work out the cause and effect development. That doesn’t sound very clear, does it?

“He said she said” happens all the time when I say something, then my husband interprets it to mean I want something, and he does it or buys it or makes it. He expects me to be very excited, and my response is usually, “Where did you ever get that idea?” For example, I must have once said those black and white greeting cards with little kids kissing on the front were cute. I probably said it in an offhand way. Now those are the only kinds of cards I get, because he’s convinced they’re my favorite and I love them. I’m not sure where he got that idea.

Whew! This went on long. I hope that helped explain it.

I hope you were able to finish your short story. I’m happy you found my site. Thanks so much for stopping by. Are there other topics you’d like me to write about?
