It's a Small World

I made a comment on an online news story today, and used the word "heck."  As in, "Heck--it's still before noon."  Someone named. . .okay, I'll use a made-up name--Ron Madrigal, commented on my comment, "Who says "heck?"  (I add the punctuation here for him, because I'm nice like that.)

I saw that and let it go.  But, later, a woman added a comment saying that a lot of people say heck.

Taking that as encouragement and support, I replied to the heckler, "Are you the Ronald Madrigal who went to Liberty Elementary?"

Not too long later, he said, "Yes."

So I said, "I remember you.  That was a heck of a long time ago."

Ahhhhhhh.  That felt good.
