Standards
“Dude, your standards are so high I can't even see them!” – (an observation by my wee ragamuffin regarding my standards).
(she said it but (in introspective fashion) was this meant to be a clever diss or a cool compliment?)
I shall never know... (mainly because (introspectively) I am too scared to ask and/or figure it out.)
i.e.: i know she didn't mean for it to be a diss or a compliment, but looking inwardly, which one is it?
and regardless of whichever one it is, what does that say about me as a person?
(an old saying goes): if you gotta ask you already know, right?
i'm asking but i still don't know. (i'm too scared, remember?)
i would have made a terrible lawyer.
