The kids and I went to my cousin's daughter's wedding reception. It was nice to see and visit with some of my relatives. The couple cut the cake, threw the bouquet, and got ready to throw the garter. Scott lined up with the boys. Scott is extremely competitive, and when the groom flicked the garter just a short way so that it fell on the floor, Scott ran and grabbed it. He held it up in victory, and then realized what he was holding onto. He dropped it in disgust and ran and jumped on my lap and hid his face in embarrassment and stayed there for several minutes. The groom brought the garter over to see if Scott wanted it, but he did not want anything to do with something lacy. They finally gave it to the bride's brother who is an RM and dating.
I think this example can apply to life-- you've got to make sure you really want what you try hard to get. This has applied to me in my life with boys I've flirted with and jobs I've applied for where half way through the process I realize that it (or him) is not something I really want and then I have to figure out how to quickly get away from the mess.
