Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for November 19, 2023

For instance, children have to learn that honesty must be tempered with tact.

There is often a way to speak truth in a kindly manner. Sometimes it is the indirect answer that will satisfy them as long as it’s true.

I’ve posted this before. The people who are truly honest with you are either your best friends or your worse enemies.

Thank you Aunty for being so honest … but I really don’t appreciate you’re sharing it with everyone else like this in public.

Where did Auntie get the Pear computer?

Beware of people who tell you what you want or like to hear. They are often trying to manipulate you for their benefit.

“Can I be honest with you?” “Does that mean that you are not usually honest?”

I don’t want your honest opinion UNLESS I ask for it. . .and, also, ya always gotta consider the source. . .and the intention. . .and the circumstances. . .sigh. . .fuhgeddabout it and mind your own business!

Honesty begets honesty Aunty, and snarky begets snarky. Are you sure it is honesty or snarky of whence you speak.

That guy’s right hand balled up fist and stone set stare speaks very loudly. Aunty’s big mouth is close to calamity.

Must have told him the Yankees suck.

I have a reputation for honesty but people have no idea how many times I bite my tongue because the other person is not ready to hear the truth.

….not always the best policy!!!!!

Even users of Pear computers and fans of New York sports teams?
