This is a simple lesson Daisysue had to learn.

One day at a sporting function where I had a 15year old history of always helping out in administration and everyone got to know me all over Australia. I had resigned a year ago and it was around meal time when the President of the club came up to me and said "go and get yourself a feed before everyone else gets in"  This was so lovely of him to think of me but I really wasn't hungry and I didn't want to hurt his feelings, so I said Thank you and OK.

So off I trot into the kitchen saying to the group of friends I was with "I'll be back in a few minutes" but low and behold when I got there the ladies were nowhere near ready and in a flap.  I stood there thinking oh my god what do I do now.  So I thought I would offer my help and the people never say yes so I thought at least I was polite and did offer to help and I could get back to my friends.

Well the universe had a different plan for me..........

I spoke to the ladies and said "can I help you ladies in anyway" and guess what they said YES.....so now I was in a pickle and I couldn't back out now.  The ladies said "could you serve the roast potato's so an hour and half later that's what I was doing.  I was laughing inwardly and that day I learnt a simple lesson in life.............Never offer to help unless you really mean it, don't offer just because you think it is the right thing to do.

My friends said where have you been and I just laughed and said I just learnt a wonderful lesson in life......Never offer to do things in life unless you really honestly mean it, otherwise you will end up doing potato duty!!!

Love you always
