The Avoidance Game

The husband and I have both worked for big corporations. One of the things they love to do is those personality tests. Big Daddy tells me that he has been tested and he is "Conflict Avoidance." (Why in the the world did he ever marry me?)

I'm in Oldies Avoidance mode. Their grandson was here and they were cranky with everyone. I was annoyed beyond belief.

So, I take the dog outside. Or, I shut myself in the office. Or, I take a swim in my tub. If I hear them shuffling in, I can vacate a room so fast your head would spin like Linda Blair in "The Exorcist."

It makes me sad. I think they're avoiding me too.
