Bitch!
My father always said you chose to be offended.
Not sure if this is a cop out on some levels.
I have always tried to live by it.
There are a lot of ways to handle things you don’t like.
I tend to play with them… That varies — but in general I have found it functional.
It was surprising to me at least, the return response I got when the person I love burped in my face.
I figured she was playing and being over the top, I returned what I thought was in kind.
Apparently not… I apologized for hurting her feelings, it was apparent this word carried far more weight than I had intended.
Her favorite saying: Don’t say something you can’t take back.
Obviously that would have been very functional in this context as well….
