Tough Talk,
At a recent family reunion, my uncle’s favorite bandanna was given to me instead of his daughter. I’m not sure why, but he wanted me to have it instead of her. She was furious and came up and grabbed it out of my hands. I could have played tug of war and probably would have won, but didn’t want to make a scene. Was this a good idea TT? (Knox, Minnesota)
Knox,
No it was not. When we were kids and this happened, I would let go at the proper time allowing the other person, usually my younger brother, to fall back and hopefully hit the ground with a minor injury. That’s what you should have done. But so what, the question is what do you do now? The Irish have a saying, “Don’t get mad, get even,” and that’s what you’re going to have to do. Otherwise, you are a complete coward and squid. Let me know what you come up with.
