When Scott and I were young, our family enjoyed vacations together. To decide where we would travel, each family member had a vote — we would write down where we wanted to go, put it in a hat, and the winning destination drawn is where we would go. Being the MUCH younger sibling, my favorite brother would influence my choice to his desired outcome by telling me the bad stuff about where he didn’t want to go, and bolstering the place he preferred. In addition, I think Mom cheated. Every. Single. Year.
One Florida trip stands out in my mind most of all, and I’ve posted about it before. The whole LIVE MERMAID thing was just the coolest thing I’d ever heard of. Of course, I believed those female employees who ate bananas underwater were REAL LIVE MERMAIDS. I know now, they weren’t. Probably.
So this morning, I woke at my regular time ready to watch the Casey Anthony trial. But it’s not on! Why?
There was a LOT of bolstering going on in the Casey Anthony trial. There was a ton of talk about ‘bad stuff’ too. And, there were cheaters. Even worse…
Shame on you, Cheney Mason. Drink your champagne and celebrate. Watch your client eat bananas underwater and continue to tell us how you really feel. And Jose, you are a real piece of work. Although your gestures weren’t as obvious, many will interpret them the same. I do.
