Meggan,

I'm sorta dumb and ridiculous and playful a lot, but I never meant for any of that to be disrespectful or mean. Girls were always sort of this sacred thing according to my dad. You open their doors, pay for them when you go out, defend them against others and pretty much treat them like princesses because according to him they are. So even though I'm silly and playful and stupid with you, that was always sort of the below the surface motivation and intent. Only apparently I messed that up because I was pretty much told that I'm playing games with you (in that bad, hurtful kind of way) and it was implied I might have hurt your feelings. I really, really didn't mean to.

You're real sweet and I have a lot of fun hanging out with you. I consider you a friend and I'd never mean to hurt a friend. I thought I'd been respectful and honorable to you but I guess I haven't been. I'd understand it if you didn't want to hang out with me for a while and promise to respect it.

Wade's right. You're worth way more than a stack of waffles (as just a friend or otherwise). Sorry if I ever made you feel like you weren't.

Sorry,
Kevin

Kevin,

Oh, Kevin. You playing around never felt like it was mean or hurtful in any way for me. Even without empathy, I could tell that. I could tell that you and Wade were both just kidding around... even if I only got the milkshake thing a couple minutes later, because I thought it was a movie reference at first, not a song reference.

I love hanging out with you and I really, really don't want that to stop. Not even for a little while for a time out. You've been a great friend so far, and I like you. You haven't done anything to hurt me.

You never made me feel like less than half a leftover, forgotten waffle. More like Leaning Tower of Waffle Princess For A Day if I've got all the kinks to that analogy ironed out the right way. You've been wonderful, you've been kind, you've been a gentleman to me whenever we've been anywhere from where I'm sitting.

You're Not Dumb,

Meggan

P.S.: You're not dumb, but you are tempting me into wanting to give you a great big hug to make you feel better about not making me feel bad.
