But what if it is at the expense of a friend D? Do you still laugh? I value truth but more than that I value kindness. It is most unkind to make a friend look foolish in Rosie world. Maybe you and your friends enjoy pranking each other and I think if you all think alike and react alike with respect to that it's fine. That's just not my style and it never has been. It has nothing to do with age. It has everything to do with personality. As a child I was painfully shy. I wanted to be invisible. I skipped a few grades so I was younger than the others. Guess what? Several of them made fun of me. Not pleasant. Unless you've been there you can't possibly empathize with how awful it is. So I don't do to others what I don't want done to me. Simple. Thank you for your reply.
