Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for September 21, 2020

Federica would be pleased, Carmen, for it’s none of your beeswax.

Tia Carmen said she wouldn’t repeat it, so be sure to listen carefully the first time.

Smart move on her part.

I know I liked Tia Carmen.

Tia Carmen. Just thinking those terrible things about Federica is not very kind!

So Carmen has started a rumor that there’s something “nasty” and “shameful” about Federica, which will prompt others to try to dig up — or even invent — such an item.

Not really an “act of kindness”.

How virtuous of you, Carmen. Not doing something you know you shouldn’t do in the first place. ¡Que dios te bendiga!

Kindness…a forgotten action in today’s society!

I like this “Act of Kindness” Monday. Wouldn’t it be lovely if it caught on?

AAWWW, nuts! That sounded juicy!

If only not starting or repeating rumors could be the norm, that would make this world a much better place but then, what would news outlets do…….

Not much kindness in gloating that there are nasty, shameful rumors about someone.

It is also not very nice to tell someone there is something interesting, but then not tell them what it is.

There’s always tomorrow.

Quien te cotillea, cotilleará sobre ti.

(Whoever gossips to you, will gossip about you.)

Act of kindness? Too late.

Gossip is scurrilous and generally wrong.

I can wait until tomorrow.
