Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 13, 2017

So very true.

Make a shake with the milk of human kindness.Or at least be kind in your mind.

Aunty and Rambo were Kung Fu fighting, it was a little bit frightening.

If I saw you walking down the street in combat fatigues, I’d duck, hide, and dial 911.

It is wise to be kind, but don’t allow your kindness to be misconstrued as weakness. Be kind, but don’t allow yourself to be mistaken for a doormat.

This is why I was able to get along with certain people at work that others couldn’t. I would just let their confrontational words, obviously designed to incite me, roll off. I’d continue to treat them politely, and eventually, they’d quit trying to start an argument and often, would become downright friendly. With one lady, this had the benefit of me getting to hear some great stories of her long, eventful life.

That is good council.

Thanks for the reminder, Aunty.
