Dear So and So

[deedolce]

Dear Male Friend,
I've finally realized that when I get bi*chy, and grumpy and pull away it's because I've picked up the myraid unconscious clues that you're developing feelings that have crossed the boundaries of 'friendship'. When you make suggestions of 'stopping by' my house to pick me up on the way to the group tennis game, or taking things personally and carry them from week to week if I don't compliment your shot, or apologize if I accidently nail you. Just brush it off, like we all do, and like you do for everyone else. Don't act hurt, don't drop hints of wanting me to ask you every weekend to ride, don't wonder if I'm mad if I walk off talking with someone else in our group and not wait for you. I'm not your girlfriend!!! You have a WIFE. Get her on a tandem. Worry about how she feels/thinks/does and leave me alone, thank you very much.

Dear school kids - well I figure you are school kids. Why did you steal from my letter box? OK I could have taken the parcel out when I went to get the kids from school & pre-school, but it is exciting to find mail in the box for you when you are 5, so I left the parcel there for him to find. But no- 45 min later after going to 1 pre-school & 2 schools to collect 3 kids the parcel was gone from our mail box. Noone saw you so you are home clean. But a little 5 year old is now less innocent & naive as he know someone STOLE his birthday present from the letter box. You couldn't see our box from the street, but you came onto our property, opened the parcel & then threw the wrapping and cards into a hedge. You know that sux & karma means that it will happen to you one day too. I hope you recall the day you stole from a 5 year old who was still innocent and full of joy.

I am so lucky thankyou
