Story Subjects

I was at someone's home, and in the midst of showing me something peculiar about the house, the person jokingly said "You aren't going to write a story about me are you?"

Hmmm.

I did not question the person about the meaning of the comment.  But I wondered if they meant that sometimes I may be insensitive to the people I make part of my writing, who may not want to be the subject of a story.  I make every effort not to put anyone in a bad light.  True, sometimes our kids get a raw deal, but normally I paint myself as the person in need of learning something. 

So for the record, I will keep this concern in mind.  And my apologies to the person who, despite their protests, for the first time became the subject of a story.
