With my EII sis-in-law this is true in
some situations. I am certainly more bold when we are out and about. I'll just do/say a thing for her if she is hesitant. Once we were at a huge greenhouse in the spring, buying plants for our homes. She had
very carefully chosen some hanging basket and it was for a particular spot but it was the last one left of this type of lovely flower, in this huge green house filled with plants, and she was
so pleased with her choice, and with her eye for finding the last one, too. After wandering off for my plants I came back and it was gone from her cart. She told me this other woman
took it
from her cart when she walked away to talk to her young ones. I know she is precise and sure on things, too. She showed me, across the expanse, the women disappearing into the indoor part with her plant, and with her husband and kids. So I followed her! She picked up speed, too, disappearing with her family down an aisle. I caught up, and said, "Excuse me, you have my friends plant. It was the last one and it was in her cart" And I
took it and brought it back to my EII sis-in-law.
I don't know what came over me.
I just suddenly get this sense of injustice, and I want to act
now, to fix it. In other situations I am restricted and wary to speak up, but in this, the boldness just takes over.
But when we are at
her house, I listen way more and she talks way more. She likes to tell a story from
very beginning to
very end with
all the details (she has an elephants's memory). And I listen.
