Prof William Nicoll from Florida Atlantic University,USA, came to give a talk at our language centre. He is an expert in counseling and his two hour talk was both entertaining and inspiring. He taught us about how students can be so manipulative. Very often, we lecturers get sucked in to their schemes.
However, what I remembered most about him was his story about Jewish mothers. A typical Jewish mother would buy for her son two identical white shirts. She would tell him to wear one of them the next time he visits. So like any good Jewish son, he wore one of the identical white shirts when he visited her next. What did she do? She looked up and said, "What is wrong with the other shirt? You don't like it?"
Sounds familiar?
