Today I lifted a comment from a conversation in an online class. After posting it on my Facebook I got several responses from excited to upset, all undeserved.
My bad.
See, we were talking about organizations and churches, and I was posing a question: When is it time to let one die? As the conversation went back and forth, a classmate said, "No one's out there writing a book called Let Me Tell You How to Die."
Funny!
My status immediately became "...is co-writing a book called 'Let Me Tell You How to Die'".
Some friends were ecstatic! Some were appalled. Some expressed their liking it with a dainty click of a thumbs-up.
Turns out people take my status seriously. But that makes me wonder...
Why didn't anyone respond to "...wants someone to bring him cookies."?
