@Wy Kay

One of my tenants once came over while I was working on the house I was renting to him and casually implied "brah-to-brah" that I must have bought my wife from an online Russian bride agency. Now granted, my wife is very pretty (and very Russian), but that he should immediately jump to this conclusion and not have the God-given sense to keep it to himself bothered me.

Over the course of my life, I've done some ugly things I mostly regret and you can see them in my face from time to time. This was one of those times, apparently. He suddenly shut up, then apologized quickly and walked away. I was grateful for that outcome later when I spent some time thinking about what I would have liked to have done in that moment and the obvious consequences.
