What to say

I used to say most of what popped into my head. This resulted in some hurt feelings and a lot of awkward moments. Lately, I’ve been noticing all the things I don’t say and why. Here is one example:

Someone at a playgroup took socks and shoes off her half-walking, half-crawling baby. This seemed fine to me. It makes sense to help the little get some traction for walking. The part that was confusing was when the woman said, “Hmm. Guess the floor is a little dirty for her feet.” I almost said, “Her hands have been on the floor the whole time while she was crawling.”

I didn’t say it though.

And I have to say, I feel like I really dodged a bullet.

Hugs!
