while swimming at the pond all day
the three other men left
for a drink at a nearby bar
I would have said “no thank you”
but I still would’ve liked
to have been asked

Joss, I kid you not. A lot of my small stones are ending up about human nature.

Too right. It’s nice to be asked.
Made me smile 🙂
Tilly, thanks. I love that phrase – too right.
Richard
Yes, it would’ve been nice to have been asked~!
Daydreamertoo, thanks. Yes, it is nice to be asked, even if you have no intention of saying yes.
Richard
Damn that sneaky feeling of exclusion. It really was their loss, however.

Elizabeth, thanks. You got it. Exclusion. I hate being excluded.
Richard
Yes, even if you don’t care to, it’s always nice to be asked, to be acknowledged. Familiar with this. 🙂
Ravenblack, thank you. You got it, to be acknowledged. That is important.
