We all have that one family member who can twist anything you say into something negative. It’s like they’ve never heard a positive sentence in their life. You look at them and think: Frowned face.

So here’s the mistake I made:
I said, “Hey Fatu, I got an idea—I think I’m talented.”

She goes, “Yes, you are.”
I almost dropped dead. I’m like, Am I talking to the Fatu I know? I had to double check—like, quick double glance.

Then I said, “Say it again… but with a big smile.”

And she goes, “Here we go. You’re good at insulting.”

Excuse me?! Since when is that a talent?
She hit me with: “Since I saw you.”
Ouch. That’s when I knew—this wasn’t support, this was character assassination.

So I asked, “Okay, but if insulting isn’t a talent, what can I do different?”

She says, “Don’t yell when insulting.”
I’m like, wait, what? Is this training?

Then—here’s the kicker—she says in the softest, sweetest voice:
“For example… you are an idioooot.”

And honestly… I can’t lie. It sounded motivational.
Like TED Talk but make it toxic.
