But he was a brilliant and witty asshole, that Tad! ;)
And I was stupid; I said and stupid things, because I was 17 and fresh off the farm, so what did I know? But he didn't cut me any slack. He just cut me out of his life, and I didn't blame him for that. Just - wow, the words he used. "Stick and stones" but words will never hurt me? That childhood truism is a total FALSE-ism. Beat me with a stick, and the pain wouldn't last nearly as long as those words did. Thanks for reading, @marie-jay, and for being right. Who needs people like Thad in their lives??
