Before I tell you about it, let me say a few words ‘bout Silvano and Malicija’s return. Antonio went to pick them up at the airport on Thursday. They didn’t come to the family morning coffee yesterday morning but they came to the Hotel later. They simply stayed longer in bed. They had gifts for us and so much to tell us. Anyway, they enjoyed their honeymoon and they came in the evening for practicing martial arts with my luvs. While they practiced, I talked to her. She was telling me about “piquant” things they did in their hotel room, places they went, and things they did. They also met with Guy 4 who is running security agency branches in Spain, Barcelona, and Madrid for Antonio. He treated them to lunch a few times and they visited his agency hq in Barcelona. Anyway, she made me very glad and happy by telling me that none of this would happened if I wasn’t friendly and nice to her and that she appreciates our friendship very much.

Cutting in is very “normal” in our country. People like to cut in to others but they don’t like when someone does to them. My Ivy and I were like them before we met my Prince, who never cut in before anyone. I’ll share with you three events about that problem and my Prince’s reaction to them. The first one happened when he and my Ivy went to the clinic where they had to get a blood sample for the bodyguard jobs. Since it was very windy, they didn’t ride the bike but took our Jeep. They came there at 6.28, two minutes before official working hours. They were 11^th in the line on the waiting list. When the people started to be called in, he didn’t mind seeing four of them cutting in using their connections and acquaintances. What bothered him the most was seeing nurses coming late to work 10 to 15 minutes after the opening hour and starting to work 30 minutes later without cause and reason (they heard their laughter and talk in the waiting room). When my luvs’ were invited to get in, he asked them if they have a reason for the late opening. They didn’t respond. Then he called them irresponsible, their behavior disgraceful, he told them they have no respect for their patients, and that he would fire every one of them if he could. They were silent again. He most probably didn’t change their attitude and practice, but he at least told them what they deserve.

The second one was in the grocery shop where they stopped to buy some juices and cookies for his and my office. Waiting in line to pay for their merchandise, they heard a cough and a painful moan behind them. When they turned around, they saw an old man with a walking stick. They let him cut in before them. Since the cashier was very slow, my Prince came to the beginning of the line with the old man and asked the people in the line if they would let the old man cut in because he is old and sick. He was surprised nobody wanted to do it. Some even said the old man is faking so he can get in line before others and that he was supposed to wait like everyone else. Then my Prince said very sharply to them:

- Shame on you! I am very sure you will let your friends, relatives, family members, and good neighbors cut in, even if they would be perfectly healthy but you are merciless when it comes to a complete stranger. Besides, man has only a loaf of bread.

People still didn’t want to let the man in, but the cashier invited him. My Prince thanked her and returned to the line joining my Ivy. Yes, people like to cut in to others, but hate when others do the same to them, even when being nicely asked.

The third case was when they were returning to the hotel. Some drivers were cutting in before them and others and they even broke the law; crossing the full line or going through the red light. (No matter how much he will be in hurry, he will never break the law). He reacted properly again. He told my Ivy to record traffic offenders with the application they got from the chief of the police. And she did. After sending a few pics, they called the chief who promised that the offenders will get proper punishment. Now, why am I telling you this? Because I want you to know that no matter how much my luvs were frustrated with those events, I am proud of them for their mature reaction and that although you can’t change some things, like in named cases, you can still be just and fair refusing to be like the bad majority.
