My ...Hope this isn't confusing communications. My Araucauna hens hide their eggs from me. They don't sit on them they just hide them. Guess that is why they are called Easter Egg Chickens. Not only are their eggs green, they make me go on an egg hunt:) Anyway, I found a cache today and have placed them with a few other eggs under June Hen. She accepted them with great excitement and scooped them safely under her wings. Mark your calendar for May 15th as we await another hatching. There are another 17 eggs and your guess will stand. I just hope June doesn't suddenly realize she's been at this too long and give up.

Knew it was naughty but not the full extent lol. <br /><br />The ways we can fail in communication are immense! The way the people interpret things differently, plus trying to read a person's expressions etc. boggles my mind sometimes. <br /><br />I used to be terrible with wanting to correct people in their grammar and spelling. Now though...I usually let it go. <br /><br />Tracy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960615884046852962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-51618353358191191652013-04-22T09:21:39.240-04:002013-04-22T09:21:39.240-04:00Failures in communication.

Sometimes I wonder if they talk much with each other when I'm not around.<br /><br />My biggest language pet peeve these days is "that" vs. "who" when people are talking about a person and use "that".

And I know exactly what you mean about translating in English.
