Let's talk about something I have always wondered and hopefully will never get caught up in this sort of quandry. Here is the scenario:
Fred is having a baby, well not him, but his wife. Fred is ecstatic!!!! He cannot wait to be a Father and he adores his wife to death. A couple of days after the baby is born, all of Fred's friends came over to see his newborn son. They praised him and blessed their new addition. When his friends left the house, Ed came out and just said it, "that baby looks nothing like Fred!". The rest of the guys were relieved because they felt the same way.
Should his friends tell Fred to get a blood test? If so, how do you deliver this news?
SPEAK OUT!!!!
Hell nah! Ed should keep his big friggin' mouth shut, you don't deliver NO news. As boys, you leave that whole issue alone, even if every last one of the crew thought that.
ReplyDeleteNow, if the overall suspicion is that Fred is getting played by his wifey...only the closest to Fred in the crew can be the one to even hint at it to Fred. And you've got to be damn sure cuz you're upsetting Fred's whole world, including your friendship with him. Say if both Fred and wifey are very, very light skin complexioned, and well...the baby is as chocolate as a Hershey bar...okay, somebody in the crew may need to get in Fred's ear, but that's with obviously clear suspicious evidence in the baby's skin tone.
Best bet, holla at Fred's family first, let them do it...but only if the situation is a clear case of "something ain't right with this".
