Kindness and Discretion

Reminder to myself : Gordon spoke up yesterday to ask for greater discretion in handling his needs . I'd just returned from a hike out at Schoodic with a friend and noticed his wet pants.
My off handed comment was "you'll need to go and change". After B. left he reminded me that the comment was embarrassing to him and would I handle it differently next time. Yes, I'd not like it either and hope to remember to do better in the future. Good for him to speak up.
