IT IS TRUE WHAT THEY SAY

     It is true what they say about what goes around comes around.   A couple years back my niece asked me if I liked the present she got me for Christmas and I told her the truth about how I felt.   At the time it seemed like the right thing to do.   I did not want to hurt her feelings, but not being honest about the first frog statue anyone got me as a gift is why I now have about 200 frogs in different sizes shapes and composition.  One person thought I liked frogs and soon everyone thought I liked them.  So I told my lovely niece the truth about the neckace she got me.  
     Well this year that came back to haunt me.  I got my brother a travil mug that I thought he would think was cute and funny. It said  " Hi I am Roy and to save time lets all just assume I am never worng."  I thought it would be a cute gift for him that he would like, because he actually said to me I am never wrong.   When he opened it he said to me " What are you trying to tell me?  I said what do you mean he said why did you get me this, I said because I thought you needed a cold drink."  I feel so bad he did not like it.   The ironic thing is if he had gotten something similar that with something I had actually said before on it he would have thought that was funny.   I was so happy when I found that mug. I really thought he would like it and play it up.   I had no idea he would be insulted by it.n1.gif?v=122   So now I know how my niece must have felt when I told her I did not like the necklace she got me.
   Which just goes to show if you hurt someones feelings, even if you did not mean to, it could come back to you later.
