Rule 10

Rule 10 of Goddess's additional set of rules is 'Think before you Speak'. Unfortunately I fell foul of that today. I had bought a new camera because my previous one had gone bust. I had chosen it because it had a really good zoom and I was looking forward to using it when I go to the States next month to visit some music festivals.
I showed it to Goddess and she immediately said that she wanted it and would give me her camera in its place, which doesn't have the same specifications. Of course I should have said Yes Goddess and then worked out later how I could get a replacement for my new camera. But instead I said no and offered to buy a similar camera for her is she wanted, but I was immediately in deep trouble. Goddess has told me before that I should never say no to her, and here I was doing just that. She said that no one ever said no to her, so who was I, a mere slave, to do it?
She was right of course and I quickly realised my mistake, but by that time it was too late. She said that she was testing me and that she wouldn't really have taken the camera off me. But I failed the test. I will have to do better in future.
