Probably the rest of you act normally when friends show up at your home to visit. For me, when people come over to see me and talk to me, I get so excited about it, I act like a lonely dog who's been tied up in the yard too long.
Here's how visits go:
MY VISITING TEACHERS: *Inquiry about my well being*
ME: *lengthy complaint about non-interesting symptoms*
MY VISITING TEACHERS: *Considerate expression of concern*
ME: *gratitude followed by more complaining and a story not relating to anything*
MY VISITING TEACHERS: *appreciative laughter and kind compliment*
ME: *more senseless prattle*
MY VISITING TEACHERS: *continued patience*
ME: *at least one more story not relating to anything.*
MY VISITING TEACHERS: "It's been so fun talking with you. We also brought you an uplifting message we'd like to share..."
ME: "Yippee!"
MY VISITING TEACHERS: *spiritual message accompanied by thoughtful insight and personal application.*
ME: "Yippee!" *launch into another story not relating to anything....*
MY VISITING TEACHERS: [90 minutes later] "Again, it's been so fun visiting with you."
ME: *obliviousness to their attempts to leave*
MY VISITING TEACHERS: "So, thanks again for letting us come by...."
ME: *lengthy goodbye at the door, further prolonging the agony of their attempts to escape....*
My visiting teachers are good people.
