For me, the Unsafe Container is Enthusiasm…I loved it when I found out that the word Enthusiasm comes from the Greek: ‘to be possessed by a God or Goddess’, and that the word Idiot comes from Latin: ‘a private person’. I decided I could be an enthusiastic idiot with impugnity!
And although I have been told I’m a good listener, (when I’m interested! Anything to do with psychology, nuttin’ to do with sprockets!) I did have to post this on my FB page:
OMG I need this for my husband. I can’t tell you how many times I will be talking and he’ll go “Oooh!” which means “I just thought of something really great which has nothing whatsoever to do with what you were talking about, not that I know what that was because I wasn’t really listening I was too busy thinking about this cool thing and I need to share it NOW.”

I know that syndrome with my sons…with me, it’s almost always relevant to whatever we’re discussing… but as the brain ages I MAY just have thought of summat that I’ve forgotten to tell them on former occaisions….as Homer Simpson said “Everytime I put something new in my brain, it pushes an old thing out.” Hey Ho!
