Son K was at the dentist last week. He had a good checkup although they thought he could floss a bit more. They gave him these sample floss picks to try using.
K said the hygienist who cleaned his teeth was telling him about this client who had an 8.30am appointment and arrived at 9.10am. She was so annoyed but maintained her composure and casually asked how come he was so late. At which point the client apologized and said that he is a firefighter and had to pull someone out of a ditch and that was the reason for being late. She then felt so bad and told K that this is one of the reasons never to jump to conclusions that people are just being thoughtless. It's important to find out reasons before you become angry.

thank you Christine
That's true, not good to jump to conclusions before you know the facts. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
What an excellent reminder not to jump to conclusions. Thanks for sharing this Christine.
OH by the way I use those floss sticks and they seem to work really well.
Peggy xxxxx
ahhh, good reminder,,
They always tell me to floss more too
Good thought to keep in min.
That's a very good thing to consider before jumping to conclusions.
That's really true Christine!!
That is so true. We were late once because we passed an old lady who had driven her car into a ditch. The ditch was next to her driveway--she'd just missed her driveway altogether. We stayed with her until the police showed up.
The floss picks look interesting. A very good story too, thank you! We can't be sure what's going on with other people, so it's good to think before jumping to conclusions...
Yes, good reminders indeed!
Thank you for sharing this amazing reminder! It is so easy when we're caught up in our own day to day things to jump to conclusions about other people. But a lot of the times they didn't have any of the bad intentions we're suspecting. I try not to, but every time I do jump to conclusions I learn a lesson like this as well.
A very Happy and Healthy New Year to you, Christine.
Lots of hugs,
Beate
