On Being Late






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.
