Dear Fonseca
I made dinner for my family on Tuesday night after I got my new dining room set. I was so excited when it arrived because I spent months saving for it. Two of my cousins became upset with me when I told them they could not sit on my new chairs because they are rather large. They ended up leaving early and told the rest of the family what I said. I wasn't trying to be mean. I just know those chairs wouldn't have held them. They say I insulted them and should apologize. I don't think I should and believe they need to be honest with themselves because if they were they would know they are probably too big for the chairs. Should I apologize? Are my cousins in the wrong for thinking they could sit on the chairs? Did I do anything wrong?
