It's a hard thing to admit. I can be so impetuous. I should learn to exercise more patience, but he kept teasing me with his cheeky little grin. I tried to mind my own business. I told myself he'd go away if I just ignored him, but he wouldn't let up. It got ugly. Finally, I let him have it, but I'm not proud of my bad behavior. Nobody deserves to have his head bit off...
...especially when, inherently, he's so sweet!
