Recently I was at a family gathering and we were about to got out to have dinner. My 4 year old niece had just placed her shoes on and tied them up. Her mother said, 'your shoes are on backwards'.
I observed my niece looking in puzzlement at her shoes trying to figure out the mistake (I certainly recall my many moments at her age thinking how do I tell the difference about my shoes). I remarked to my niece that, 'perhaps her shoes are on correctly but it's her feet that are on backwards'. She was actually able to understand the question with a laugh.
As an adult, I find that people and events will still challenge me regarding what's on backwards. It is my shoes or my feet?
As I journey through life I have occasionally bumped into people or circumstances that I would later find myself scratching my head and saying, 'that was weird'. The longer my journey has become, the more often I find myself experiencing weird people and their weird environments. It might be a situation on the job, at a social event or even a family gathering
It now seems that I am more frequently using the phrase, 'that person is weird'. In fact, I am probably saying the 'weird' phrase so often that a new thought has now occurred to me. Is it credible that virtually everyone in the world that I meet or read about are all weird?
So, my new question is, maybe everyone else the world is 'normal' and that I'm actually the weird one. Would love to know if I'm the only one that questions the sanity of the world, or oneself (or both :-).
Do you really want a piece of this?
