My 8 year old came home from school and handed me a folded piece of paper. I asked what it was and he said, โMy teacher told me to give this to you.โ I opened it expecting something about homework or behavior. It said, โYour son keeps giving his lunch away to another boy who never brings one.โ I looked at him and asked why. He shrugged and said, โHe says he's not hungry.โ Then he looked down at the floor and said, โI know he's lying.โ
My coworker had a habit of โforgettingโ to mention me whenever our team got praised for something I helped with.
At first, I ignored it.
Then one Friday, our manager congratulated him for fixing a problem I had spent three days working on. He smiled and said, โYeah, it was a team effort,โ without mentioning me once.
So I stopped arguing and started documenting everything.
I need my money to start behaving like it understands the assignment.
I donโt need millions right now.
I just want to buy something I like without first asking myself how many other problems that money could solve.
Some people donโt actually want an honest answer when they ask, โWhatโs wrong?โ
They want you to say โnothing.โ
So when you actually tell them whatโs wrong, suddenly youโre โdoing too much.โ
A coworker told me why they went vegan:
A farmer told him that a cow had twins, but they didn't realize a second calf had been born for two weeks. The mother hid her child in a bluff of trees and would feed it in hiding. She knew they would take it.
And they did.
โVegans are so extreme.โ
My brother in cholesterol, you are eating a corpse between two pieces of bread and calling me dramatic because I chose lentils.
The biggest red flag in a man is not even cheating.
Itโs when he knows he doesnโt want anything serious with you, but still gives you just enough attention to keep you around. ๐ญ
