Emily Giffin Quote

Minigolf, she said with stone seriousness, is a metaphor for life.I smiled and said, Oh, really?Yes. I mean, think about it….Do you take it seriously? Too seriously? Do you enjoy it? Do you keep careful score? Do you get upset when you lose? Do you cheat? And if you do cheat, how do you react when you’re busted? Are you sheepish? Sorry? Do you do it again?
