I first saw this over at Mommy Needs Coffee, who credited Karen Sugarpants, who credited Avitable for the idea. All three of them wrote 10 things that they wish they could or should say to someone. Here mine are, in no particular order:

1. You really need to curb your pessimism. Try looking at a glass as half-full for once. I'm tired of your petty complaining and it's really getting hard to be around you.
2. Why is it that the color of my skin makes you dislike me so much? Tell me. What have I ever done to you to deserve your hatred?
3. I'm sure your children are wonderful and perfect in every way. I just get tired of hearing about it. Oh, and by the way, I hear your teenage daughter is pregnant. Is she having a boy or a girl?
4. The thought of either one of you dying, scares the crap out of me. I don't know if I will be able to pull through when it happens.
5. Can you stop with the gossip already? Why not try to be friendly and supportive of those who need it?
6. I really wish we would talk more. About the important stuff. The stuff that really matters. And that you would listen.
7. When are you going to realize that your child is a pathological liar who refuses to take responsibility for his actions? You need to realize if you consistently believe him, when all of the evidence is stacked against him, that he will end up with his prisoner number tattooed on the back of his neck.
8. Why is it that your job and family life make you too busy to call me? Why can't you respect the fact that I'm busy as well? What makes you so much more important than me?
9. If you have a problem with me, then you need to come and talk to me about it. The backstabbing is reminding me of high school years, only worse. Because you are an alleged adult.
10. I really admire you and your work. You have gone through so much and yet somehow managed to make it all work for you. I wish I had the guts to reach out more and try to become our friend.

What do you wish you could say to someone?
