Presumptions

Today, I was behind a driver wearing Tyrolean hat in an ancient BMW. As he was moving at the speed of mud, I downshifted my car and upshifted my patience because I suspected that he was as ancient as the car.

When I pulled up alongside him, it turns out that he was a teenager! A teenager in a Tyrolean hat, feather and all, babying his old import is not something you see much around here, but I sure liked his style!

Nah, if he was from Yodel he'd be 100 miles off his destination and at least a day late..

Re: Presumptions

Surfermom, Until it is proved otherwise, we tend to make assumptions/presumptions
In our minds, we put people into boxes who then slot into a particular section.
We don’t always look out of the sides and see it other than the first impression, we just presume.

So true, art. We are bombarded with input via all of our senses, and would go mad with it if we didn't filter and categorize. I've read that about 95% of what we see and hear we process automatically without really attending to it.

I suppose that is why we make such lousy witnesses.

When I was teaching kids to read, it was shown that the fewer new experiences children have had, the harder it is for them to learn.

We connect every new experience to one we have already had.
