Don't Be Embarrassed

Dear Gabriel,

So... I just looked in the mirror and have TONS of stuff in my teeth. Luckily I haven't really seen anyone today, just over skype. But it brings a thought to my mind I want to make sure and debrief with you: Don't be embarrassed to tell anyone, even random strangers, something that might embarrass them MORE later. Example:

-A girl is walking out of the bathroom with her skirt tucked into her nylons in the back (happened to me before). For heavens sake, walk up to her and tell her about it! The guy that told me was about 14 years old and I am so glad he did before I could walk around the whole restaurant like that.

-Your boss is in the middle of a meeting and his zipper is down. Tell him it is down! It will be distracting everyone anyway and your boss will wonder why everyone is trying to hide their snickers... and not the candy bar.

-You see a friend at a party and he smiles at you while nodding his head. You notice a huge piece of broccoli between his front teeth. Walk right up to him and tell him to get rid of it!

The list could go on and on. I am frankly so grateful for people who step out of their 'box' in order to help me out, even when I am a random stranger to them. Don't be embarrassed to step out of your box to help someone else out. Believe me, they will be grateful for it.

I love you,

Your Mom
