Efface Facts
My wife’s a modest soul. In my view she’s a talented artist. In her view she’s not. My wife is well read. My wife has a view... not always the same as mine... but that’s OK. I tell her that she’s an intellectual. But she says she’s not. She’s wrong of course, but her modesty is an admirable trait. People seem to like it.
I’ve been thinking about it for a while and decided. I’ve decided to become modest and self-effacing myself... because I realise that, like everything else I do, it would be something I’d be great at!

Used to do a quote of the day thing at my previous workplace. If still doing it Neville, would have asked if I could put a slightly shortened version of the last paragraph up there.

You’d have been most welcome Jamie. The rest of the drabble was a setup for the last para as I’m sure you can tell. And the setup is true, she is most modest.

Nice one, Neville. I'm sure you would be great at modesty, but not as great as me! :-)

I am Modesty incarnated... I am so modest that I am in perfect admiration of the magnitude of my modesty :-)
