The Middle of the Day

Let them help,
even if they do it differently.

You asked for help, or somebody offered it, and now they are doing it. Only not the way you would.

The dishwasher is loaded wrong. The child has gone out in clothes that do not match. The email says what you wanted, just not in your words.

It is very tempting to step in and take it back. Most of the time it would be quicker to do it yourself. But every time you do, it gets a little harder for them to offer again, and a little harder for you to ask.

Different is not the same as wrong. Let it be done their way, and take the hour you were given.
