Ever had a conversation with someone and in the middle of you relating something, the person takes out his phone and start sms-ing. Then when the person is done, he looks at you and expects you to just continue from where you left off, as if nothing has happned?
What happens if a group of friends asked you to tell a story. You obliged but half way through it, they start to talk among themselves and you have to stop because it would be ridiculous to be talking to yourself. When they are done, they turn to you and ask you to continue, as if nothing had happned. Hmmm... I do hope that I have never done something like that, but I believe I must have, sometime or another. I apologise sincerely.
