It's just that sometimes from the other side of the fence, the grass not only is greener but also taller and lush which makes it very desirable.
So why not say something out loud about the present events when they might have had the opportunity, the chance to enjoy that privilege of accessing the grass, but you didn't or couldn't, you decide you might as well let others your feelings and vast expertise on the matter that has accumulated from years of experience telling others how life really works.
In other words, tell grandma to shut the hell up!!
How life really works! |
The coach has to make the point clear to all concerned. At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside And asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"
"Yes, coach", replied the little boy. "
Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue,
curse the umpire, or call him an asshole. Do you understand all that?"
Again, the little boy nodded in the affirmative.
The coach continued, "And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a chance to play,
it's not a dumb-ass decision or that the coach is a shithead is it?"
"No, coach."
"Good", said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.”
