Sticks and stones can break the bones, but words break the heart- had a disagreement with the older of the folks. did not like tone he spoke to granny. was half awake when the incident took place. felt that it was totally uncalled for. decided to just let him finish up his "peace" before i wash up.

spoke up at breakfast. the other folk concur that the raised voice was unnecessary. mentioned that it was just harmless call in the morning from his mum and he need not get worked up. does he want to suffer from that in future? felt the pain for granny. felt so sorry for her. she wanted some concern and attention. yet was "welcomed" by raised voice. i could not accept his reasoning. totally unreasonable and illogical. how righteous and bigotted. i cannot accept that. wish he could sort out his tots. disappointed. lead by example.

respect is earned and not enforced.
