All in the Delivery
Words matter, but so does how you say them. In any conversation, tone, timing, and body language all shape what people hear. You can say something harmless and still have it come across completely wrong if you pause in the wrong place.
This cartoon captures that perfectly. The man, while smiling, drops a sentence that might’ve been comforting—if he hadn’t paused so dramatically in the middle. It’s the classic case of "you had one job." It shows how a slight shift in delivery can completely change the meaning of your words—and maybe make someone question your intentions, especially at work.
