ORIGINAL: chamberqueen Honestly, my mind has never wandered with my Master. The closest thing I can think of is that there are times that He has asked me a question and it has become difficult for me to answer (typically with something that means that I need to expose myself emotionally in a new way) and He will simply say, "You haven't answered my question" in a slightly firm tone of voice. This is me, too. I don't find my attention wandering but in private I do find myself thinking too hard and too long before I answer a question he has asked that I find difficult to answer. He knows that whenever I don't answer quickly it's because I'm trying to figure out what to say. Then I get that the "Well...." in that special tone of voice. In public it really isn't about my not paying attention or not answering quickly enough because he would never ask me something difficult in public. In that setting it's more about my saying or doing something inappropriate. That gets the strident throat clearing that cuts me off along with the slightly lowered chin and the raised eyebrows, which immediately triggers my "deer in the headlights" look.
