Totally missed it.

This evening, #1 son visiting. We are sitting together after meal. Friend of his calls - come around, socialize some, then bring me home because I can't find alterative lodging. Son says hakay fine.

Wife makes a remark to the effect if S says jump son asks how high. APPARENTLY at this point, son takes offense, ewalks out and drives out without saying goodbye [he and frioend will be back eventually].

I, sitting right thdere, missed this whole exchange - did not carch the feelings that obviously seethed.

For which I feel bad, but I often do not get things like that unless VEERY explicit and directed at me.

Now wife is hurt and mad, son is mad and hurt, I am puzzled and helpless.

Par for the course.

I guess it is ironic in a way we were watching Big Bang Theory at the time.

I recommend just letting them cool down.

Lemme tell ya...I used to work for a video store, and one night these guys came in, and schmoozed with my boss and fellow co-workers; and robbed us blind without our realizing it. What was I doing while all of this was going on? Organizing the sections, as was part of my job; yes I missed the entire thing, and my boss wasn't happy about that. She was even more unhappy figuring that we'd never know what they'd stolen.

I felt terrible about it, and on my break I spread the word all around the mall about the guys based on the description my boss had mentioned. And yes...we caught 'em

I also mentioned to find all the wrappers of what they'd stolen as well, so my store wasn't screwed on that front in a way--again, thanks to me!
