"OOPS, WE FORGOT TO TELL THE WAITSTAFF ABOUT THE PEANUTS AND SHELLFISH," MY SISTER-IN-LAW SAID—CASUAL, COLD—WHILE MY 9-YEAR-OLD SON WAS GASPING FOR AIR AT THE DINNER TABLE. MY BROTHER SMIRKED: "HE'S 9. HE CAN EAT BREAD." I LOOKED AT THEM AND SAID, "YOU BOTH KNEW ABOUT HIS ALLERGIES. YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT COULD HAPPEN." THEN I STOOD UP CALMLY: "THANK YOU FOR DINNER. AND THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME WHY I'M CANCELING MY CO-SIGN ON YOUR $174,000 MORTGAGE. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY." THE TABLE FROZE. MY SISTER-IN-LAW’S FACE WENT PALE. AND THEN MY SON SAID SOMETHING THAT MADE MY BROTHER DROP HIS FORK...
Moral.When people prove they understand the danger and choose convenience anyway, believe the choice, not the apology.
