I called my nieces spoiled earlier today.  To their faces.  They made a remark about being embarrassed to ride in their grandfather's 90's era Lexus which doesn't have one dent in it and has a brand new coat of paint.  It's not loud, it runs fine.  I don't get it.  I apologized almost immediately for using the word spoiled and left it at that . . . I guess entitled was the proper word to have used, but they wouldn't have known what it meant.  I'm feeling like crap, even though I apologized but more than that, I don't understand why I can't keep my thoughts to myself.  Other people do it successfully, why can't I?  This is a real struggle for me.  Does anyone else struggle with such?  It makes me feel like weak sauce!  I hate it!  UGH.  

 P.S.  I miss spell check!
