We all like to think that we are perfect to a fault. And whose fault is that? Not mine.
Recently, my husband and I got up at the 21 of 4 am to catch an early 22 to
It was a quiet 25 to the airport. We didn’t even chat, because he was enjoying his new iPod. At the airport, the taxi 26 to let us get off, at which point the iPod guy 27 me and said, “We don’t have our 28 .”
“You are 29 right?” I replied, for he 30 lied like that.
“No. I mean it. Did you bring it down? I didn’t”
“What do you mean, you didn’t?” I shouted. “All our things are there.”
“How 31 !” I was thinking, “You’re always 32 to do things like bringing down luggage. This is your fault, 33 now, we may 34 our flight.” I didn’t say that out loud, 35 . He already knew how I felt.
The experience showed I had a hard time accepting 36 .But what do you think of me? Psychologists think that the best way to assess ourselves is 37 the eyes of others. We often don’t recognize that we’ve done wrong.
Oh, and that missing suitcase? We went home 38 in the taxi, picked it up, returned to the airport and made it through with minutes to 39 .
Later, while walking along Broadway, I noted how 40 I was. I hadn’t said a thing about his forgetting our suitcase at home.
