how honest are you?

One afternoon I was busy working when someone asked me if her english is bad. I type fast, sometimes too fast that it seemed to skip brain processing. So without giving much thought, I typed “yes” I’m not very good in english, I know, but I know bad english when I read one.

After which she ranted how her relatives criticized her blog. And how she hated them. I do not regret telling her the truth. (Since she blogs rarely, I was even tempted to offer to correct her entries before she publishes only bec I want to help her.)

Anyway, just the other day, I was asked by one immature person if she is indeed immature. Geez why am I always asked to tell the sad truth? Instead I asked her why she suddenly wanted to know. Good thing that after hearing her story, I realized it wasn’t a case of immaturity. (and that she doesn’t read my blogs hahaha)

So, how do you tell an immature person she is immature? Seems to me that after you do, you’re in for some door slamming, feet stomping and high-pitched talking. No, thanks.

When someone asks you a question, they’re either fishing or really want to know the truth. So I guess it depends who’s asking. I’ve been asked before by a friend if she smells bad as in BO and I can’t tell her!! Yikes.
