I Can't Believe You Just Said That!

I can't believe you just said that!!!  How many times have we heard this?  Sometimes, we say it with a laugh, feigning shock that someone could be so funny or rude.  Sometimes, we say it with a heart full of pain and confusion.  Sometimes we say it because we are so completely flabbergasted that any person could be so, so, so....dumb, or ignorant.    Our words can be helpful and hateful, kind and jealous, sweet and obnoxious, loving and distrustful.  And the worst of it is, sometimes the same words can come from two different people and have completely different meanings.
