For our most recent contest, Keep a Lid On [2], readers were invited to name a time when it was wise to take a breath and not vent. Congratulations to Beth, who left us with a vivid image:
My 22 yo niece went to an expensive private university. Despite my best advice, pleas for thoughts of her future and not-insignificant financial support, she studied sociology, “Because I like it.” She graduated in May and started her career, you guessed it, working part-time at TGIFs. I’ve been biting my tongue so hard blood spurts out of my mouth.
