Why Do You Assume I Don't Mean It?

When I set aside the everyday section of the newspaper so that I could do the crossword puzzle later, why did you put it in the recycling bin? Did you think I didn't really mean to save it? When you returned the roll of gift wrap to the basement that I had on the counter to wrap a gift that was sitting right there, did you think I was finished with it? When you threw out the washed aluminum cans I'd been saving for the story time craft project did you think I'd set them on the windowsill accidentally? Do you think I like the timer stuck to the wall if every time you put it up there I take it off? Why do you assume that I'm not doing these things on purpose?
