“But–“
“No! Not this time. No more junk in here!!”
“Would you hush! I have a friend who has a loom. She’ll teach me, and I’ll weave there! Good grief!”
Silence.
“Oh.”
Just Writing! 
Conversation is supposed to be a two way street. Even with that little bit of humble pie, I doubt if he learned the lesson… Great snippet of real life.

Thanks, Trent. You’re probably right. Interrupting seems to be a universal trait, and most people who do it will say, “Well, I KNEW what you were going to say!”

We too often listen, not to HEAR, but to rebut.

Dear Linda,
I’m glad she was able to defuse him. Some people are quick to jump to the conclusions…often the wrong ones. Nicely done.
Shalom,

What a negativist! How about, “OK then you can find another place to live and I’ll have all kinds of space to spin in.” Or, “OK I’ll go find my own place to live in as I’m sick of you trying to shut me down.”
