Day 146: Don't Embarras Your Guest, Don't Embarrass Your Children
I learned in a Judaics class one time that embarrassing someone publically is akin to killing them. I've taken this so much to heart that I do my best not to embarrass people. I try to tell people quietly whether or not they need a tissue, if they have a tag sticking out of their clothing, if they are incorrect about something. It isn't worth embarrassing someone if there's a quiet way around it.
I'm not sure if I'm conveying any of this properly, but if you take away anything from reading this post, it's that instead of blaming your guest for spilling red wine on your white tablecloth, you should either do it too or remind them that stains can be easily removed.
