Other People's Kids

Cold Shoulder

Tonight I was feeling remorseful for how harsh I was with "Josie" last night. I wanted to soften things a little bit, and when she was just standing there in the kitchen I thought I saw an opportunity.

"Say, 'Josie', I just wanted to say that I didn't mean to be so harsh last night. I was angry and while I meant most of what I said, I'm sorry it came out so hard."

She looked at me, turned, and walked away.

Harsh. But I'm not really worried about it. Because all I said was from the heart, it was true, and she needed someone to at least try to wake her up. Sooner or later, after she's lost enough friends and family, she'll understand.

And when she does, I'll be the first in line to give her a hug and welcome her back into my good graces.
