‘Oh, I could never do your job! Don’t you feel horrible?’
Miss M, this makes me feel like a monster.
Please don’t say I’m too sensitive. The hypothetical person I’m talking with has just said I succeeded in becoming a vet because I am insensitive. I have only ever called her by her first name, which is consistent with how I refer to my grandfather’s wife, so calling her “my grandmother” sounds strange to me, and referring to her as “my step-grandmother” feels cold and detached.
