…gives me a headache.
Usually I am pretty good at getting in the last word. Words are what I was trained in, and now words are my business. But yesterday I met my match.
I was working with a tutoring client and trying to elicit some information from him in a process which, incidentally, has given me entirely new insights into the phrase, “blood from a stone.”
I asked him if he was this difficult in all of his conversations with others, and he said that he liked to present people with a challenge.
Me: Well, that’s just like waving a red flag in front of a bull (I love a good challenge).
Him: Yes, but then it’s just like in the cartoons when I pull the flag away, and there’s an anvil there instead.
He won.
