The Blame Game--You Almost Cut Off My Finger

I think it is human nature not to want to take blame. I remember the Family Circus cartoon had a little ghost character that was called "Not Me" Anytime there was mud on the floor or a door left open or something broken, the kids would all say "Not Me" And the next frame would show the ghost with muddy feet holding the broken lamp.

Whenever I had a problem, Mom and Dad always told me to look at my responsibility. "What's your part in this?" Even when I was sure it was someone else's fault completely, they never let me off the hook without looking at how I contributed to the problem and what I could do to solve it.

I don't mind looking at what I did and correcting it. I like to learn my lessons and NOT do the same thing again. I think we all look at something we have just done and say that was stupid why did I do that!

Now I am not saying it wasn't me. I am just saying all of us drink yogurt at the house. My daughter can drink four of them in less than half an hour. We recycle the little plastic bottles and the foil lids. We rinse them first. I guess one of the foil lids went down the garbage disposal. It could have been me or maybe it was "Not Me"

Honestly, I don't feel like looking at my part in this. It is a freaking lid and I will continue to try not to put them down the disposal. So the fact that Hubby believes I am responsible for almost cutting off his finger, because he put his hand down there, while the disposal was still on, to grab a foil lid, that I may or may not have accidentally dropped down the drain, while trying to recycle, to save the planet well all I can say is NOT ME!!
