Timing is everything. I was coming back from Florida when a soldier with his M16 came over and started proselytizing me. Now normally I like to rip missionaries into little pieces and sprinkle them over my cereal but it was not the proper time. He was a soldier, in an airport, with a gun and I had a flight. If I did my normal thing of making him cry he might have shot me or delayed me. Instead, I refuted him politely, did not ask any questions and went on my way. It was not the proper time or place. It may have been the same with her. Timing is everything.
