Perhaps she did! That's men for you - always thinking about their stomachs!

People are rude when they feel
rightly or wrongly that someone has been rude to them first. Didn't this woman intrude on his suppertime?

Re:
Yeah, me too! Perhaps that's why I like this story so much - because I don't have the guts to be so devastatingly rude, even when I'd like to be. And I guess my problem is something to do with hurting me more than it's hurting the other person. I know I'l be worried and anxious and all that horrible stuff for days afterwards, so I avoid the pain by being nice. But I'm afraid that's not what Jesus would do!

I have trouble being downright honest with people when I think that the truth will hurt them. I have a tendency to sugar coat or hum-haw around.
