I was at the doctors waiting room recently when a woman came in with her baby daughter. It was a cold day and she was rugged up with a woolly hat on. The receptionists were cooing over her, and one mentioned her ear was folded forward under her hat. The mum quickly fixed it, saying "Oh dear, what a bad mummy I am."
I thought to myself "Why? Did you do it on purpose?"
Why do we do that to ourselves? Bad enough that we are judged harshly by others sometimes, but then we turn on ourselves!?
