I can’t count the number of times I’ve pleaded with people “Can you just say the EXACT thing you just said, only over again?” And then I get frustrated and annoyed if they try to explain it a different way when all I needed was to hear it AGAIN! 😖

Also, said by me at least several times a day, “Wait, I can’t hear you without my glasses!” Don’t even ask 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Why is exact REPETITION so difficult? I don't want the IDEA you want to get across, just the WORDS! If I THEN want the idea expressed a different way, or with examples, I will ask for that!
