There are very few people who would consider me the nicest person in the world, and situations like the following are part of the reason.
My best friend, Sarah, and I were looking at my sister, Robin's, pictures from when she was at camp with a couple of her friends. There was a three of them in a picture. One of them was Sarah's sister, Beth, and the other was rather large girl that I had never seen before.
I noticed, then, that Robin and Beth were both wearing dark clothing and standing on either side of the big 'un, who was in white.
"You guys look like an oreo," I said. I was about to continue the thought with a somewhat rude comment, but stopped myself.
"Oh, I almost said something mean," Sarah said, making me grin and continue my previous thought.
"Double stuffed?" I asked as she nodded enthusiastically...there's a reason we're best friends.
