Feisty women, have you ever said to someone, ”rewind”?
I had a teacher friend who said this to her students whenever they said unkind words to each other or whenever they play a selection of music in a less than stellar manner. Sometimes our words just come out wrong the first time, so instead of being offended or argumentative, just say “rewind” and give that person a chance to restate their words. Maybe they were having a bad day, too. Everyone in her classroom knew that they could always “rewind” and did often ask for a rewind. Now, if some of the adults in the world today did a “rewind,” maybe we could all get along together a bit better!
