DP Daily Prompt: Mad As A Hatter
There are times when we think ‘Silence is Golden’. I feel these words are not always practical in real life situation. I’ll tell you why I’m saying that.
One of my classmates in London , remarked, ‘Sabeth you’ll never have enemies you hardly speak’. ‘Not so, I told him, they think I’m too proud’.
This is one example of silence,the other is people think they can easily tell you off. Silence to them means the person is stupid.
Third example is the one where you do everything you’re asked in return you’re yelled at.
The third example is what I’ll deal with today. My husband asked me to cut his hair one day. He had all the barber’s tools. The only problem was I never trained to be a barber. I told him I did not think I could do it. He assured me it’s simple.
So I took the role of a barber but had no experience. I took on the job and started cutting his hair. I spent about ten minutes when my husband suddenly yelled at me,what was my fault, according to him I was moving too much. I completely lost it I was so angry I thought I’d start crying. I cannot recall if I wept,but I certainly let him know what I thought of his behavior.
My husband was shocked to see me so angry. He had a smile on his face. His expression was enough for me to know he could not believe I’d be this angry.
Dear Ranu,
Thank you for sharing these experiences of silence and anger, and of living with our fellow humans. It is an art.
All good wishes,
robert
Dear Robert,it is one way of looking at it.

Hello Ginny,so nice of you to visit my blog. Thank you.I hope I’ll see you again.
Good for you for expressing your anger! Your husband’s reaction made me smile 🙂
I used to be quieter in my younger years and most often, my experience was that it gave people permission to take advantage of my kindness or be rude to me. (Some people need to be reminded of their boundaries!)
Can you imagine he was saving his money. Of course I couldn’t turn into a barber in split seconds.
I made him realize I can be angry if he is unreasonable.
Yes Janna t they need to know or else they’d take advantage.
