A Gift Horse


I have to keep my mouth shut when I see that my stepson is not using common sense when he talks to his wife. After all it is none of my business if he chooses criticism over diplomacy.  I have waxed poetic about my daughter in law here several times. She is just wonderful on so many levels and any man would be blessed to call her his wife. However young males can speak from their head and rarely consult with their hearts first. That I can say from experience is a recipe for disaster. Just like when you’re asked: “Does this dress make me look fat?” you don’t criticize your significant others cooking. 

Hopefully he will learn in time but you don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. It’s an old cliché but it still works today.
