Recently, as some of you know, India got accused of breaking a 400.00 camera. The straps of a purse were put over the top of her head from behind. She is oblivious to what's on her head but is aware that one of the straps has gotten caught on her ear piercing. She detaches the object from her ear and drops it back behind her from where it came. Turns out, its a purse with a 400.00 camera in it. Which is now broke. Won't do anything but give an error message on the screen when turned on. Now the mom thinks that India is responsible. Basically because she knows me and not the parents of the other kid who actually put the bag containing the camera over India's head in the first place. She isn't pursuing this kids parents because 1. there are two of them 2. they have money and live in an upscale subdivision. 3. I am an easier target. Well I am not 100% sure yet how I am going to handle this but when I saw this Dilbert strip about a sales man who basically is making a ton of money because his company is FORCING everyone to upgrade. He feels like a pirate, pillaging these people. However, I saw that sack as representing a camera worth about 400.00.
And this one just made me think of all the relationships that I have witnessed over the years from both friends, family and a few I've personally been involved in where one person says all kinds of mean, totally unable to come back from and be the same, type of comments and then expect that the other person can truly just "Strike that from the record"
