Self-Descriptions Perfected
Brookie is a first-class doer—Todd is a professional procrastinator. In a recent conversation we were both able to express our mindsets clearly.
Tuesday night after Brookie came home from Youth Activities at church, we were talking about the rest of our evening. I just wanted a popsicle and time to unwind with my wife. So I asked her if she had things she needed to do. She answered that she had things that she could do. Which is true.
Brookie: "There's always something to do."
Todd, after realizing the futility of arguing the truth of her statement, countered with a truth of his own: "Yeah, but there's not always something due."
Go to the board!

I cannot even begin to tell you how often we have had similar conversations.
