Old Saying Beloved by my Family

[netmouse]

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

We have it on a plaque that hangs on my wall. I don't know where it's from. This page, which also has other quotes on communication, attributes something very like it to a Robert McCloskey.

I think my family needs that plaque. Oi.
