Why Get Mad ?

Here it is day four of the new year

You have lost your temper

I understand your frustration

If something doesn't work the way you want

Try again

Then if you still can't do it

Ask a friend

Some how you become impatient and tune me out

I try to tell you to calm down

You stop hearing and won't listen

You insist on why me ?

All I want is this to work

Is that asking to much

I find it silly apparently you don't

The problem in question

Was a Tupperware lid that wouldn't close

The more you tried

The more mad you got

Let me see it

Maybe there is something keeping it from closing ?

I carefully looked and moved things around

Nothing I could see blocking it

Then I tried with no luck

As you grabbed it quickly to force it to close

You are only going to break it

I know it worked a few minutes ago

Why won't it work now?

I don't have the answer

After looking at the container again

I tried holding down the bottom tray and pressing the top shut

It worked

A miracle I'm thinking

No just lucky

Every container is a little bit different

As I go to show you

You say I don't want to even see it

Mumbling under your breath

That's stupid

No it's a plastic container we don't usually use for a vegetable platter

The Rubbermaid container you like is missing

Maybe we left it somewhere

Usually we are pretty good at bringing them home

Not this time

I don't remember using it for awhile

Another mystery of life

So this is only a small thing

That can blow up to a big thing if not careful

I say let it go

When it is someone else's problem

It is easier for me to say

Just think a few days from today

All will be forgotten

Then we will continue to do what we always have

Live life and find ways to make it happier than before
