So, yesterday my daughter (12) started "revealing" stuff from school and said "My German teacher hates me".
So, I challenged her. How do you know that?
Did you ask her if she hated you?
No, of course not.
Well, how do you know then, can you mind read?
No.
But here's the truth, within our own heads we "make up stories". We are meaning making machines and often we are barking up the wrong tree.
Tell us about a time you or someone you know "got the wrong end of the stick" by just thinking it.
