Let's Argue

There is just something about people that have to argue with you on every point, that REALLY gets under my skin.  I mean, it really aggravates me.  I know, I am a teacher and yes I should be used to this.  But, surprisingly I have had maybe only one or two students EVER do this to me repeatedly. 

I am just curious at what enjoyment people get out of being confrontational with you for a whole conversation.  I am not going to lie, sometimes I like to irritate old friends of mine with this, but to do it repeatedly? No thanks.  

I will agree with that there are some people you just can not get along with. I will also grant that sometimes it is fun to play devil's advocate with people, get them worked up about things.  But, you do not travel in a car with that person willingly, do you?  You do not continue to hang out with this person if they aggravate you to no end, do you? 

How do you interact with people that talk/treat you like this?  

Car Zoo

On May 3rd, I packed my friends and Jessica plus the two kids she nannies for a sweet trip to the Conservation Park/Wildlife Safari.  It's a miniature zoo that you drive through with your own car.  Elk, Deer, Buffaloes, Owls,  Bald Eagles, Geese, Swans, Bobcats, and a sweeeeeeeeeeeeet playground. 

The one year old boy, Jackson sat in his car seat transfixed with the food in his hands or smearing them on the window or side of the car. 

Ally the five year old girl was okay with looking at the animals UNTIL. . .she poked her finger into one of the owl cages and when she pulled it back, gave her light cut.  Good thing I always keep a band-aid in my wallet, because THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END!

Plus Ron was a great sport and entertained the kids!

It was perfect weather and made me really glad to be living in Nebraska.
