Three Way Conversation

Sometimes it takes three people to have a conversation. One talks, one listens and the third interprets. That is what happened yesterday. The new doctor was questioning a deposit in her bank account. The bookkeeper told her that she was wrong. She argued that this information was directly from the bank as she had just come from a meeting with her banker. The bookkeeper said that the banker didn't know what he was talking about. I intervened when they both began to roll their eyes at each other. The doctor was right. The bookkeeper just was not understanding the issue. I had to explain to both of them what was happening using hand gestures and post its. Finally everyone understood. This was another example of smart vs bright. The doctor is smart, the bookkeeper is bright, but I am both smart and bright.
