It Blows A Snowing Gale IT blows a snowing gale in the winter of the year; The boats are on the sea and the crews are on the pier. The needle of the vane, it is veering to and fro, A flash of sun is on the veering of the vane. Autumn leaves and rain, The passion of the gale. (Robert Lewis Stevenson )
Mine field like situation is always encountered at most family get togethers. Where every step you take, can lead to a disastrous end! For it is where every allegedly innocent question is stealthily loaded, (exactly like you're getting cross examined on the stand in a criminal court). And thus every answer too is deliberately ingrained with toxicity. Thank the Almighty, that had all my irritating relatives ostracized!
