well, this is a tricky one. deciding when things are “wrong” is a highly subjective notion, but i gathered a lot of independent opinions and factual information before taking action.
another tricky bit is to make the listener feel safe and trusted. hmm, this person saw my conversation coming and was rather defensive and prickly. i had to focus a lot of time and energy reassuring him that i was on his side.
and most tricky of all, i have no idea if i was successful. true, i did indeed speak up – and that was my stated goal. but will my words have any sort of lasting effect? a great journey takes many steps and i bet this one isn’t over just yet.

strange to entertain a baby with a group of teenagers – i am very glad she was too young to understand the ridiculous and wildly inappropriate things we were saying to her. she smiled way more at peek-a-boo than any of our jokes so i guess it proves once again that babies are smarter than we think.
