Just Yesterday My Cheeks Were Burning With Shame... Not For My Children's Actions As You Might Think,

Just yesterday my cheeks were burning with shame... Not for my children's actions as you might think, but for my own behaviour.

Literally a few sentences said at the wrong time and here I am again feeling this fire on my cheeks... Usually in moments like this I either want to defend myself and talk a lot and fast, or I lose the gift of speech for a while and try to understand the whole situation. Yesterday I was speechless...

Of course, later I tried to explain myself, my cheeks were burning at the thought of creating such an impression with my words, but I could hardly change anything, and since my intentions were not evil, I apologized and just tried to let the situation go.

I didn't seem to be able to explain anything, and it doesn't matter now...

...But my cheeks still burn with shame and offence when I remember all the words of that conversation.
