Been There, Done That
I read a story this week about a couple that was on vacation and had stopped for lunch at a roadside café. After finishing their meal, they continued on their trip. Several miles down the road, the woman suddenly remembered that she had left her glasses lying on the table at the restaurant. The man had to drive even farther down the road before he could find a place to turn around. He fussed and fumed all the way back, complaining about the time lost and that they would never be able to get back on schedule. Finally, they arrived at the restaurant and the woman hurried out of the car to recover her glasses. The man was still complaining, but stopped long enough to yell out to her, "While you're in there, you might as well get my hat, too."Although I do wear a hat, this story is not based on personal experience. But I must confess, "Been there, done that!" Come on now, be honest, you can identify with this man, too. Ok, maybe a few of you have only been in the passenger seat. The thing is it's easy to see the flaws in others while overlooking the same shortcomings in our own life. What's even more frightening is to see your own imperfections coming back at you from your 12-year-old.
