Wasted Words on Lowercases and Capitals

Yesterday my cousin Shawn asked me a question. At the time I wasn't paying close attention to what he was saying so I quickly responded, "What?" Before he could repeat what he originally said, I recited his question word for word. So MY question is....if we hear what people say, but think we didn't get all of it...why are we so quick to say "What?" Why don't we simply take a minute or two and try to remember it?

On another note, I took a stride out on the ice last night, first time i've laced up skates in twelve years. My feet were sore and my ankles wobbled...but it was an experience that words will find hard to describe. It did take me almost and hour and a half to remember how to sorta stop on skates, but there was progress. It's empowering the feeling you get playing your country's most famous sport, especially when you can do so with your family. Hopefully in time, I can skate relatively similar to my cousin Shawn.
