Lie #18: Good people never wish the wind out of another's sails.

My 6 year old son and I were having lunch together in the school cafeteria and he was talking about a friend of his in his kindergarten class. He tells me, "Mom, he is always on green." I said that was good because he obviously tried very hard to make good choices. He leans into me and whispers, "Well, sometimes I wish he were on yellow because he's ALWAYS on green." It took all I had...

So then I started wondering, how many times have I wished for someone else to be on yellow because they are so perfect? I lost count after the time I wished some beautiful, well manicured stranger, who asked me if i knew what causes babies, would become impregnated with Michael Jackson's child.

I should have lunch with my kids more often. I am obviously in good company.
