I went to visit my son Charlie, in Austin in October. He lives with his dad, my was-band, Robert. I often have challenges with bowels moving slow and not often and my was-band has the opposite - too fast too often. So I finally have a poop and it clogs the toilet, "Oh shi..." There is no plunger? Do I really need to share... no escape.
"NO we don't have a plunger, why do we need a plunger"? R shouts. "I clogged the toilet!" "You did what?" On and on it goes...with a mix of chagrin and amusement, I go buy their first plunger. Now, yesterday I call my was-band up to talk about paint, and he mentions that now Charlie is having problems with his toilet flushing "Ever since Mom came..." Yeah, I 'm the scapegoat, as usual" We both laugh. I notice this time I feel love, like warm chocolate melting, not the old pain and anger of being the scapegoat. Funny where spiritual growth shows up. Ah, to not take ourselves so seriously RULE #6
