I understand.....
I understand you are tired......
I understand you are upset......
It works, too. I've tried it. My mother was ragging on me about something totally inconsequential, like why I don't visit, which is, of course, one of the reasons I don't visit, and I listened and said....I understand.
It was amazing. It was as if I'd shot her with a cannon. She then started to sputter,'How can you possibly understand how I feel? I'm 81!'
Then I said, 'I understand you are feeling mad that I don't come to visit.'
And that shut her up. She hasn't complained at all for weeks.
Then I tried it on my son when he was yelling at me that I had to get more involved with the computer.
I told him,'I understand you are frustrated with me and it must be hard for you to have an old fudd-duddy for a parent'
He laughed, and then he showed me how to find some amazing videos about cats.
(Amazed) Understand......What a mystical word!
It has powers to defeat the biggest enemies! I just wonder why the leaders of the world do not use it to have world peace! Maybe I will write them an email....
(Listens)
Oh, all right, time's up. I will see you next week.....
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
And the funny thing is, now that I'm older...I don't understand anything at all!
(Exits, laughing. I understand why)

The funny thing is - I understand less now than when I first wrote it!
