Listening: Commercial flight
One more time, I am wondering about myself.Is it me who is too serious, not cool, following my stupid values? Or is it something else?
First, I thought it was cetainly a cultural difference, or an educational difference. I mean, if I was the guest of a friend, even if all his family would have told me to feel at home, it wouldn't even cross my mind to leave the dinner table to go online and chat on MSN while everyone is still eating, and especially when I have already spent 98% of my day on that. Certainly because when I was a kid, my parents and grandparents kept telling me to not leave the table before my meal was over and that they decide I could get up and go away.
Anyway, that's what happen yesterday night at home with my guests...
I don't blame them, of course not, but I felt terribly uncomfortable with my parents. They seemed to not care at all, but I know (almost sure) that they noticed and were a bit upset. Fortunately, I have the coolest parents in the world, but I don't think this is a reason to do this.
Maybe they were not after all, maybe the more upset was me, because of my seriousness, because of my stupid values, because of the fact I am trying to be a good host and that the respect I get back is to leave the dinner table to not miss more than 10 minutes on internet.
Bah, it's nothing of a big deal. I already forgot it. I hope noone will take it too personnaly. It's just few lines on a blog, just a space where I can say what I can't somewhere else.
