This little poem is based on my mention of my daughter in a joking way to illustrate something to a small group of people I spoke to one time at a church gathering many years ago when she was a pre-teen. I had no idea when I said it that it made her feel bad for me to mention it, but later I found out how much it hurt her. To this day I cannot recall what i had said, only that it surprised me to learn how much it hurt her, and I think this is because I do not embarrass at all as easily as my daughter does. Something to keep in mind if you ever use family as illustrations of anything in a speech!
