“Today has been such a bad day…”
“Why?”
“It’s just…bad…I probably shouldn’t go into it in detail.”
“Why won’t you tell me what happened?”
“Sometimes you seem to be upset with me when I talk about bad days. Let’s just leave it at ‘bad’.”
Although I told the truth – Jonathan is often upset with me – I knew I shouldn’t have said anything immediately after I said it.
“I do NOT get upset with you! When have I ever been upset with you?!?! I’m NEVER upset with you! I don’t know where you came up with that…Why would you even THINK that??? ”
And with that, I upset Jonathan by trying really hard not to upset Jonathan. Thank goodness I had to work night shift so I could escape Jonathan’s grouchy wrath in person…I still had to deal with numerous grouchy texts throughout the day, however.
