A few weeks ago I was with a group of friends doing our normal friend thing. I sometimes have ideological disagreements with one of the friends there. She is a good person in all and has a good heart, but my heart cringes at some of the things she says. At the friend get together Winnie2* (she has the same name as the WINNIE*) said "I have never met a (insert her daughter's name here) that I have liked." Now I know she was being sarcastic but it still made me cringe. So without thinking I said back, "I have never met a Winnie* that I liked" in an attempt to prove a point. Right when I said it I knew I lost. My point was very easily ignored. It was too easy for her to bring up Winnie* which she did immediately. If I remember correctly she was lightly chastised by other friends. But honestly I deserved it. I should have bit my lip.
This was the first time in many years Winnie's* name was mentioned. I really didn't acknowledge it. But it was still strange to hear my friends mention the long ago relationship. I have to admit it kinda shook me and I think my friends could tell. I tend to keep my Winnie* thoughts closed to the outside world, well except for this very public forum.
With WONDER...
