What's That??? What's That??? What's That???

This is an addition to the previous post and closer to my intent when I started, but I again got carried away in the details of the story. I believe background information is very important.
A few months before this episode in the car coming home from Idaho Falls I was also in a car jammed in the back with two other passengers traveling to Aberdeen I think it was for our family reunion. The conversation that ensued between me and the person next to me however was quite different to my other story and surprisingly not nearly as annoying although one would have thought it so. "Utt's that?" "A house." "Utt's that?" "A house." "Utt's that?" "Another house." "Utt's that?" "A beautifully looking house with colors of orange and blue and a garage and backyard with lots of grass and some cars parked in the driveway." "Oh,...utt's that?" "A field."....."More field......a lot of fields.....hills.....mountains.....zzzzzz"
I condensed it, but you get the point it was me talking to my nephew Aiden of two years.

Now I don't really mean to be rude to the person who I sat next to on Saturday, but I can't remember a thing that was discussed, other than my question about volleyball at the institute after the brief moment of silence. My conversation with Aiden however, though much more simple, was drastically more enlightening. He got to learn what a house is - that it's a general term for a building a person lives in, there are a lot of them, and they don't all look the same.
Our conversation wasn't just endless talking about nothing, but an actual quest for him to learn, as well as for me (although I won't deny the possibility Aiden was also just having the time of his life knowing he could get an immediate response out of me every time). I learned some interesting things on that trip, but I'll have to save them for another time.

Why!!!

So there I was riding in a car from the Temple in Idaho Falls to Pocatello this last Saturday morning feeling thankful for the Ensign a friend had given me to read on the way home. There was a plethera of conversation going on in the car but to be honest I didn't feel much like talking so I tried to bury myself in talks about being prepared for general conference and the roles of the Relief Society. I finally succeeded in ignoring those talking sufficiently enough that it got really quite quiet and peaceful....when suddenly I felt bad for ignoring the person sitting next to me so I decided to ask a quick question so that I might simply talk a minute and then end the conversation politely instead of just ignoring them. Well it didn't quite happen that way, and in fact it became increasingly more difficult to get lost in reading....especially when the person sitting on the other side of me dropped out of the conversation completely while texting somebody, which in turn gave me an idea to check my phone and find I had received a text message as well while my phone had been off. So I responded but soon that conversation ended and it was back to sort of listening to the person next to me again.....I just wanted to scream! I had felt bad and just wanted to be polite but wish I had been content with the silence I had earned moments earlier. So another "ahah" moment came and I decided I could scream in a text message to 10 random (well maybe not so random) friends. And that was the word I said: Why!!!
Surprisingly enough all 10 friends did eventually text me back completely baffled at my question/exclamation. Two were somewhat concerned because of conversations we had had a few days earlier, seven responded once or twice but obviously weren't too interested in talking to me, and then one fine friend - who actually was the last to respond because she had just woken up - wanted to know every detail and find out exactly how I was doing. So, although I felt a little better because I had now become more popular in the world of texting than the friend next to me, I still didn't have the peace and quiet I wanted in the first place! Why!
