My Brother's Rules.

[DawnCt1]

I just got a call from my brother, "Hey, how ya doing"? I begin to tell him. He interrupts with, "When you call me, its about you. When I call you, its about me. I asked how you are doing to be polite but the truth is, I don't want to know, now lets talk about me". He is shopping for a truck. His wife doesn't care what he gets. I guess she knows that she won't be driving it.

I once had a client who always used to say "How are you?" is a greeting, not a question

Sounds like something my sisters and I would say to each other. Ya know, it isnt ALL about you! Sheesh.

One of my very best friends likes to say "Oh, that's enough about me, let's talk about me!"

When I ask how you are I really want to know. Otherwise, I just say, "hi!"

That sounds like something my brother would say too!

Now if he had said "Hey how ya doin'?" I would swear we had the same brother oh wait its real close his name isn't Tony is it ?

Ha! At least he asks. My mom always calls and says 'It's mom, I'm fine, I just" and she launches into whatever crisis she's having at the moment.

Sounds like he's a funny guy..

Reminds me of something I heard once about when people say, "How are you?", they really don't want to listen to a list of complaints about your hemmoroids; bunions; colonoscopy; arthritis; hot flashes; mysterious rash; dandruff; acne; sinus infections; etc.. Better to just say, "Fine.. And you?"
