I still find it hard to tell the difference between what matters and what doesn't but I think my T was a little more "creative" with phrases. The one I remember was "A wet towel on the bed is not a murder."

We were illustrating what my stepmother and I would do (my brothers and I didn't keep our rooms picked up so my stepmother would tear all our clothes out of closets and drawers and, in the case of my brother, throw them out the window (I just got mine piled all in the middle of the room)). It's still easy for me to forget that not all things are created equal or worth doing the automatic go-ballistic on. If I get anxious or afraid, I can nit a pick from 20 paces, no problem, whether it "should" be or not.

I would ignore the ugly cliche and look at what you all were talking about, the subject devil that made her do it?
