You want to say something, but you can’t
Written by on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 – 12:58 pm -Why is it that we as humans, no matter what the circumstances, always want to tell someone, just one person, what is burning us up inside to keep in? Whether it is a secret that you have been sworn to keep (or they will kill you, figuratively speaking) or maybe someone did something or is wearing something you cannot believe and you want to say something, but you can’t. Why are we predisposed (at least most of us) to keep quite and not say anything, even though we want to so desperately?
For example, a few months ago in this post, I said that there was something that I wanted to share, but I could not at the time. Why? I thought at the time that it may be a little too early to say anything, but hindsight it was not, but I was still afraid to say something. Well, in case you were wondering what it was, it was that my wife is expecting our 4th child (YEAH)!
There is a method to my madness here, I promise you that much. After ranting on why do we do this sort of thing, I am at it again. There is something I want to say, but I cannot do it now (I am not expecting anymore children, if that is what you are thinking and no I do not have a new job) …..

Because words are like toothpaste — so easy to get out but hard to put them back in.
It’s when you hesitate, you are very aware of the second part.
Congrats on your 4th child! =)

Holly,
I never thought of it that way, I guess the hesitation is what keeps a lot of us from saying anything. It is something I find that I need to work on in certain situations, in others it seems like I have verbal diarrhea.
Thanks for the congrats, it is a little crazy

Congrats!
I know why… I am prego now and I waited until I was about 13 weeks before I told my co-workers. It was soooo hard to wait! Especially considering I was feeling like total crap!
That is very exciting, best wishes,
