So the other day I was thinking about the office.... and the oh so odd and funny characters we love to watch... And the other day I came to the startling thought--- that we ALL resemble these characters in some way--- in some way we have shared or share similar character flaws or traits.
Ok-- I'm not trying to make this a deep thoughtful post, but I did have some thoughts of why as a young child.... I shared similar traits as... Angela...
1. When I was 6 yrs old, I would wear my "smoking kills' pin over to my neighbors house whose (wonderful, kind) mother smoked. I wore the pin in hopes that his mother would get the hint that smoking was bad for your body. A couple of years later, my neighbor’s mother told me that she had quit smoking.... I wonder if she did that out of guilt, and that I would stop wearing the pin.
2. When I was 8 or 9 years old, after church, I saw some boys in my class throwing their scriptures into the basketball hoops. I told them "Future missionaries of the lord DO NOT throw the word of God around like that.
3. In grade 3 in PE class, we played a game called "resurrection". I told my teacher that I did not like the name of it because I felt that it was sacrilege, because of what the term resurrection meant. This is Canada... and so in order to be politically correct... we changed the name to something else....
Ok thankfully.... as an adult, I have HOPEFULLY grown out of this bratty self-righteous character. To be honest I think it only lasted while I was 7 yrs. old.
However, as an adult, Angela and I are very different.... Ido not scowl all day; I do not like numbers (hence I'm not an accountant.) I do not like posters of cats or anne geddes pictures. I do not like weird men who love fantasy creatures and who thinks superheroes are real people.
