- I love it!
- Okay.
Three, two, one.
Welcome to the Superbook Show.
- Wait, we're starting?
(dramatic music)
- I asked you if you were ready to start.
- I thought you said,"Are you ready for art."
Art, I love art.
- Why would I say that now?
- I don't know, you can bepretty random sometimes.
I'm not judging.
- Maybe we should talktoday about listening.
(phone clicking)
- Okay, so you wanna talk about what now?
- Listening.
- Oh I love listening!
- Just like art, huh?
- Yeah, how'd you know?
- You just said--
- Uh, should you be interrupting
while you're talking about listening?
I don't love that.
- You interrupted me interrupting you.
Know what, nevermind.
- You know, I'm glad you brought this up.
The Bible says we should be quick to hear,
slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
- Quick to hear?
- Yeah, it's a common fault to speak
before we have all the facts.
And in spite of whether or not we have
anything good to say.
- You've got a point.
- Also, listening makes theperson you're talking to
feel like you actually care.
- How so?
- Well, I know that your favorite food
is tropical punch fruit snacks
and I know that Tuesday'sare your hard days at school
because of your extra class.
And I know you can bepretty random sometimes,
but you mean well.
- Aw.
- See, by taking the time tolisten to what you told me
it shows that I care.
- Aw.
- Listening also demonstrates humility.
- What do you mean?
- Have you ever talked tosomebody who's a know-it-all?
- Oh, yeah.
- Well, Proverbs 12 saysthe way the fool is right
in his own eyes, but awise man listens to advice.
When someone's a know-it-all,you can't tell them anything.
- I gotta say, I kind of feellike a know-it-all today.
- Really, how so?
- I was expecting to be theone who taught on listening
because you weren't listening earlier.
- Well, that's the thing Alitheia.
- What's that?
- I asked you to wait aminute before we started.
The texts was from myMom and an emergency.
She always takes precedence.
- You said wait a minute, so I...
I'm so sorry.
- It's cool.
His word is forever alive.
