Very funny! Could be a new theme for the blog...creating funny stories based on bad grammar. Personally, lately I'm taking issue with the fact that otherwise intelligent people do not seem able to grasp the concept of first, second and third person. Héctor Tobar, in Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, writes, "When you're a boy in Chile, that's how you're taught to pray, to speak to God in the first person." To me be the glory. An article in Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201505/the-voice-reason) extols the enhanced effectiveness of changing the pronoun in self-talk ("You can do it" rather than "I can do it"), and then describes it as "toggling the way we address the self--first person or third." She can do it, he can do it, they can do it..everyone can do it except me! Hmmm... doesn't seem to work.Drunkawifenoreply@blogger.com
