<p>Let me preface this whole thing by admitting I have a temper problem.</p>
<p>For three-sixty-four days of the year, I am excessively polite. Retaliation is not my instinct. I was raised by a woman who went to missionary school. I was taught to be respectful. And I try my utmost to uphold those values.</p>
<p>Earlier this evening, I failed.</p>
<p>I am not keeping count, but I feel before this incident it had been over a year since I had lost my temper. Those instances have thankfully become rare. ‘Thankfully’, because when I <em>do</em> get enraged, my values go down the drain. I become brash and rude.</p>
