I wish you would have told me

Don’t you wish there were times that someone would have told you.  Here are a few in my life that I can recall

I wish you would have told me;

  • that my fly was open and my shirt was “peeking” through
  • that I have a seed caught in my teeth from the everything bagel I ate from Tim Hortons
  • that I wouldn’t ever graduate from grade one piano even though I’ve taken 5 years of lessons from you (thanks Mrs. G :-) )
  • that you’d never go out with me (thanks cute girl in grade 8 who I followed around like a lost puppy until she stopped talking to me) 
  • that there’s banana in the desert (happens way too often – I’m deathly allergic to bananas … well … not really but I really hate them. 
  • that you’re a really terrible golfer and you take literally 20 seconds to hit each shot (before you start to think it’s you – i’m referencing someone who I golfed with in the past who had to line up every shot by putting his golf club on the ground lined up with his feet … then point, scratch a couple of times, wiggle his club, wiggle his butt and proceed to swing and “duff” it 20 yards down the rough.  Repeat this 150 times)
  • that your kids have chicken pox and they’re wrestling with my children
  • that you’re really not taking me out for lunch at a nice restaurant to thank me, like you said, but rather you wanted to let me know how terrible of a guy I am (it didn’t happen to me but it happened to a friend and since it happened to him and not me – I think it’s hillarious)
  • that everyone in the school play was suppose to wear all black while my son stood beside me wearing all white.
  • that I’d be doing this for free

Do you have any “i wish you would have told me” scenarios?

    - being a pastor generally means people will feel uncomfortable around you and so you won’t have many friends
    - that coaching sports can be a lot more fun than actually playing it
    - that having children likely means the end of personal time for about 18 years
    - that there’s a lot more to music than just country music . . . or at least had told me before I was done highschool
    - that there won’t be time in life to do everything you want to do so you better be picky

    - I could fill pages with these but I think that will do for now.

    Too many to count! I suppose if you dwell on the what if’s though, then the what could be’s never seem to happen.

    …really – you used the lunch scenario?

    I still think it’s funny, even though it hurts.
