Weeelll.... While I appreciate the fact that you tried to help Miss Honey, I think that in doing so you irritated me. You did make a somewhat valid point, I suppose. But in making that point, it seemed that you weren't taking her feelings into consideration. She was clearly upset that her card didn't get acknowledged. You pointed out that since she gave it away, it wasn't hers anymore. Since it was no longer her card, Bean could do whatever he wanted to with it. He chose to stick it in her file. (And of course he takes it home with him every night) It just seems that in making this point (not that I'm discrediting your point in any way) I feel you weren't considerate of Miss Honey's feelings. And I rather like Miss Honey. So, you irritated me.
Now, say you come to my house for dinner and bring a bottle of wine. I say, "Well, thank you" and break the bottle over your head (don't get me wrong, I rather get a kick out of your posts, I'm just being humorous at this point), does that mean since you gave me the bottle of wine it is completely mine to do with as I choose? And you have no right to be mad at me for breaking it over your head? I'd say NO! And I'd expect you to say, "Well, don't expect me to stay for dinner unless you're serving chocolate cake!" Just as Miss Honey has every right to be upset that she didn't receive a proper thank you, and was confused that the card was placed in her file.
