It is extremely hard sometimes to say a 42 thing like `I was wrong about that,’ and it is even harder to say, `I was wrong, and you were right about that.’ I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember 43 the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old, and I went into the store with my mother to do the weekly 44 shopping. There was a 45 sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were piled high. I stopped in front of a 46 to admire the piles. Just then a woman pushing her grocery cart knocked 47 the piles of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees examining to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit. He severely 48 me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, 49 the manager did not.
