Austin and I do pretty well with communication, but occasionally one of us really misses something. Here's a case in point.
A month or more ago Austin set up a mini-reunion with some college friends in DC for tomorrow. He wasn't sure if families were invited, but I said that Tucker and I might come along anyway and just hang out in DC that day while he was busy.
A couple weeks later I told him that we probably wouldn't accompany him to DC. I was thinking: it doesn't make sense for T. and I to go to DC just to hang out by ourselves that day. He heard: I don't want to go to DC even if families are invited.
Fast forward till this afternoon when it emerges that 1) families ARE invited and 2) he doesn't think I want to go and 3) has tried not to bring it up and pressure me and 4) I have totally missed the invite and would love to go.
The only obstacle to all this is that now I've scheduled three appointments for Sunday afternoon.
All are rescheduled now, so all's well that ends well. But it does make me wonder how much gets missed in day to day conversation....
