Selkie, I am sure you could come up with something. Hey, look at Uncle Bob's response!
I think ah-ha moments can mean different things to different people and in different situations.
I remember how when I was younger (and even into my early adulthood) I was known as "Sorry Laurie" because I said that word so often and when someone would call me on it and tell me I didn't always have to say it, my reflex response was always "sorry". Well, Since my Dad has come to live with us and his health, memory, hearing, sight, etc. are all failing, he says sorry a lot and I keep telling him he doesn't have to....we all understand his situation. It hit me one day (ah-ha!) I always said it because I was feeling self-conscious and now my Dad is no longer this very strong and determined man I have always looked up to. Because I was a sorry-sayer I have a lot of compassion for him now!
