Like I said, there is a way to make your point about anything without having to get nasty and codescendiing about it. Thanks for sharing this! It's funny but also somewhat endearing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485292727142324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894302960384432.post-29267988765097585232013-03-01T23:50:12.197-06:002013-03-01T23:50:12.197-06:00Here's a little laugh to make you feel more in...Here's a little laugh to make you feel more in control of life. The other day someone wrote to one of my lists, saying that he is related the the 'Greens' because Mrs. Black lived next door to Mrs. Blue and he knew that Mrs. Blue and Mrs. Green went to the same church and were also friends with Mrs. Brown, therefore he is related to the Greens. He was so proud to have figured out this tree. And no, I am not making that up. Names were changed to protect the real family but he truly did have a story about that convoluted with nary a sign of a real "related" connection in there anywhere. Our resident expert on that list did such a cool job of nudging him toward seeing that is not what the word 'related' means...someone who once spoke to or saw from a distance, etc. I was impressed at his gentleness and firmness. I am still guffawing so would not have done a good job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894302960384432.post-60148418669438626452013-02-28T17:57:16.668-06:002013-02-28T17:57:16.668-06:00It is nice to rant now and then!
