Verbal Failures

In elementary school I got my folder signed for speaking too loudly and too often. My defense to the teacher was that my talking habits were a product of my genetics and that she couldn't punish me for a trait I couldn't control.

I wish my genetics kicked in today. Why is it that in the moments you most need to speak, the words just don't seem to come? Tonight I meant to say, "I will do anything for you, including loving you forever." What came out was, "You still owe me two hundred bucks."

I am not yet sure what hurts more: rejection, or wondering what might have been.



On the bright side, I'm two hundred dollars richer now.

    Thanks, Grammie. That is such a great compliment. I feel like if I take life too seriously there would be not time to laugh. Ali: I'm doing super. Happy Thanksgiving. And Julie, come down here to Provo and we'll spend the money together. :)
