'Nother incident... when I was twelve, a sister and I read a story about a family that had driven past a sign saying that the road was washed out, don't go any further. They all died. I said they shouldn't have done it and was quite callous. I caught heck from her.
She didn't say I was wrong that they shouldn't have heeded the sign, but that people make mistakes, and these people were dead and I was being, basically, an ass about it.

A few years later, I was a sophmore in high school and a classmate cut class and was riding a motorcycle without a helmet. He took a turn too wide and hit head-on with a delivery truck. He lived but was severely brain-damaged. I mourned that. She recalled the earlier thought of mine to me, and I told her that I had listened to her that day and learned something. I think it mostly shocked her to realize that I had listened to her.
