I should have asked if I could read her daughter's writing. When I saw T's art show. I thought she'd be angry, but she was pleased, instead. She's pretty open to answering my questions but I never thought to ask first. I wish she'd punish me. I don't where that wish comes from. But she'll probably say it's not so terrible. I hope... |
You don't have to tell her, right?
I'll try to explain this as I'm seeing it. There are plenty of things we all do in private that are okay. Bowel movements, passing gas and adjusting undergarments come to mind. Nothing to be ashamed of, but socially these things are not okay to talk about. Some people don't mind hearing about it, while others as loving and caring as they may be, get put off. It's not the doing it that is the problem, its the talking about it.
I believe that looking up anything is totally fine. But if I had a friend or coworkers who approached me and told me they looked me up a lot and found pictures of my family, house, children and so on I'd be upset. The unease for me would be around someone broaching the societal norm of talking about it, not so much that they were doing it in the first place. If it's harmless I'd rather not know.
Just my opinion!
