How Quickly Loyalties Can Change
I was at a meeting earlier this week and a friend of mine was on the “expert panel.” At one point he says, “I was giving a speech at my brother-in-law’s wedding…”
I happened to be sitting next to his brother-in-law at this moment. I turn to him and say, “interesting that he says he was at his brother-in-law’s wedding and not his SISTER’S wedding.”
It’s amazing how quickly loyalties can change. His sister, who he’s known for 34 years, gets kicked to the curb for his brother-in-law, who he’s known for 2. I wonder if at his parents’ anniversary he will toast, “to my brother-in-law’s niece’s grandparents – cheers!”
Well done, friend. Well done.
No lesson here. This story just tickled me pink.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go write an email to my friend’s sister letting her know about her familial hierarchical displacement.
