I wished I had waited. Contest number 245

in Ladies of Hive17 days ago

When I saw this week's prompt on Sunday evening, I just smiled to myself because I have never done something so pitiful or regrettable that would make people say that to me. But I remembered one incident, not that regrettable because it wasn't that painful. It was when I was still learning baking and decoration, and we were told to do practicals, I and the other learners.

We baked the cake, and we wanted to use it to make bags. My boss was helping us trim the cake into a bag shape so we could cover it with fondant and decorate it. My boss was trimming my friend's cake, and she told me to wait. However, I felt like I could do it myself since I had been learning from her over the past few weeks. While she was trimming my friend's cake, I had already seen how she did it. I just cut the cake and tried to put the small part I cut on top of the bigger cake. That's how the cake broke in my hand.

My boss didn't say anything; she just looked at me somehow. I knew that look – it was like "I told you so, deal with it." I almost cried that day and regretted why I did it. In my mind, I thought I should have waited. It pained me, but she later helped me handle it, and it turned out nice after decoration.

From that little experience, I realized that statement can be painful, especially if you've been warned before. Talking about saying it to others, yes, I can and will if I've warned someone about something before, and they refused to listen.

My brother was arrested by the loan office he worked for a few weeks ago because the lender who borrowed money through him refused to pay back. Thankfully, he was granted bail. Before that time, my mom had been warning him to leave that kind of work and find another, but he kept saying he would without taking any action. It wasn't until they called them to a meeting and they were arrested with other workers.

I was pained because if he had left the work, he wouldn't have been arrested. After his bail, what my mom kept saying was "I told you so," though I didn't have the boldness to say it to him because he was sad, and I just pitied him. However, as I was pitying him, I was angry at the same time and wished I could say it to him like my mom was saying it to him.

If someone is being stubborn and refuses to listen, I can say "I told you so" to them.

Picture is mine.
