.....If you repair a tear in your clothes right away ( while it is small) you can do it with ONE stitch...
....if you wait ....the tear will enlarge and take NINE stitches to repair.

.....ALSO.....if you have a "to-do" ( dust-up ) with someone .....Either......physically or verbally....it is best to say I'm sorry and make amends right away ...than to wait until it turns into a long-running, MAJOR problem.
