pick your team

i can be offended
i can be humbled and learn
i can be right
i can be happy
lets hear from the teams----team MEMEMEME!...you start
you dont know me....you dont know the situation....youve only heard the one side....you always judge me wrong....i'm always the bad guy....our whole life has been based on shallow superficial interactions...you are a child and have no idea what its like to be out in the real world...talk to me in 30 years....then we'll have a real conversation
thanks team MEMEMEMEMEME! you made a good argument to stay wallowing in the misery that is you.....hope it works for you.
ah....now comes team US&YOU&YOU, TOO& ALL OF YALL!
lets hear from their spokesman:
WE LOVE TEAM MEMEMEMEMEMEME! THEY ARE A PART OF US. But to be a part of us, they must control their desire to be immovable. Sometimes we say things wrong....dont always choose the right word....come across as harsh....but you know the desire of our heart is a righteous one......we love you. We want you to be on our team---come on over---we just ask that you be happy----and curtail your anger.....learn to use it for good....maybe to power our rv or a boat! come! join us!be a part of us!
okay---now is the time for the decision.....is she going to be offended and be right...alone and right....or is she going to be happy and compromise and learn to let it go? waiting......waiting.....
I CHOOSE TO BE OFFENDED....I CHOOSE TO DEMAND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND MY REASONS----AND AGREE WITH ME---ONLY THEN CAN I TRULY BE HAPPY.
whew....i feel much better...how bout you?
does anyone else have these conversations---or is it just mememememememememe?

I have daily battles between the "memememe" and the "let's be a team" self. Being an adult means you must put away the selfishness and contribute to the team, but sometimes...I want to be selfish. Fortunately, this lasts a small moment and then I'm back on the team.
Now, convincing your children to put away the selfish mememe and be team players takes time and hopefully, they'll turn into adults one day learning to be selfless and not selfish. That's the hope anyway.

Great post, Meredith!
