Word to the Wise Guy

When you go to poke fun
And the response isn’t glee,
Make your very next words
An apology.

Commentary

I have often observed a kind of bullying behavior: a man or woman, girl or boy is easily stressed; less easily stressed jerks take advantage of that person by “kidding” them and then criticizing them when the “kidding” is not taken in stride.

Perhaps this is why I so much appreciate the Geigerism “Kid Up!”
