The words of Holly Dodd:

"The information you don't have, you just have to know that you don't know
it, that's all.

"But it would be better if you could read our minds."


That was about me complaining that Marty expected me to know his day's plan
this morning, because he had told Holly last night. And a week ago, he and
Holly talked in the middle of the night, and Holly expected me to know the next
morning.

I teased her just now, saying there was paper by the door, and a pencil, and
they could write and I could read, so maybe they shouldn't expect me to just
KNOW what they discuss at 2:00 in the morning. "I'm working with insufficient
information," I said. And I got ""The information you don't have, you just
have to know that you don't know it. . . "

Great story. When we start getting into a "I thought you knew" I always
tell them I cannot read their minds. I tell my girls..."keep me informed of
what your plans are, you don't really want me to try to read you minds, do
you?!" The answer is always a resounding NO!
