The other day I had occasion to hear my son say to my grandson, “You’re letting your life be ruined by a sandwich.”

The younger grandson had asked for a sandwich for lunch after the older had asked for and received something else. The older one decided he wanted a sandwich. He was told he could have one for his afternoon snack. He didn’t like that answer and an hour later he was still being grumpy and making faces to express his dissatisfaction with the situation.

It’s funny when a child does this, especially if we don’t have to deal with it, but what about when adults do it? Probably not over a sandwich, but most of us have let something minor and irrelevant ruin our day. Or our week. Or maybe our marriage?

If you find yourself doing this, just stop. If others around you do it, point out how silly it is as lovingly as possible.
