BEING POLITE

I passed a man walking out of a store today, holding a lovely bunch of flowers which he had evidentially just purchased, and I was tempted to comment on them.

Something like lightheartedly exclaiming, "I hope those aren't because you are in trouble with your wife!"

When I suddenly realized that wouldn't at all be politically correct.

And that is NOT a bad thing.


What are the chances he is not actually married? Pretty good, really.

It could be for a girlfriend.

A boyfriend.

Even a husband.

And again, there is nothing at all wrong with me being aware of that.

It's called being polite.

Plain and simple.
