Much Ado About NOTHING

I think people make too much of things that really should not matter. My auntie and uncle had me in the middle of something so silly and petty. My auntie had a car magnet (you know one of those 'support our troops' yellow ribbons). Well my uncle took her car to be washed. He had her car looking so good. I mean shiny, spotless, super clean inside, you know all that.
My aunt was so happy; just smiling wide. But then she noticed her magnet was gone.
To say she was no longer happy is putting it mildly.
That's all she focused on, that missing magnet. SO my uncle said he'll replace it.
Well it's been over 6 months and my aunt is still talking about that magnet. Of course my uncle has not gotten around to buying another magnet. But my aunt can't stand it. She seem so disappointed about the magnet and the fact that my uncle has yet to replace it.

Really though, what's the big deal?

  1. Excellent point. We tend to major in minorities and not focus on what really matters. "People." People are what really matter in life and many just dont get it. The magnet may fall of but the car was taken care of. Is this a gender issue? Often woman tend make issue of things that are not big picture significant. Or at least thats how I see it.
