Is there Anything You're Finicky About?

Common Sense can have a lot to do with it.

The only thing I’m truly finicky about is anyone wearing shoes in the house. The whack-a-do who previously owned the house we moved from three years ago put off-white carpet throughout the house. What a job it was keeping the off-white carpet off-white. 

If you come here for a visit, please leave your shoes by the door.  Everything else can be handled with good old common sense:

If it falls on the floor, pick it up, sweep it up, or wipe it up. Don’t step over or on it.

If it’s dirty, put it in the hamper, the dishwasher, or wash it.

If it cries, feed it, let it out, console it, or hug it.

If it’s empty, fill it back up, or throw it away.

If it’s due, pay it.

If we’re almost out of it, put it on the shopping list.

If you’re done watching it, listening to it, seeing by it, turn it off.

If someone laughs, something must be funny — laugh with them.

If someone loves, give it back and watch it multiply.

No one’s perfect, (least of all me), but coming from a large family, I learned common sense made everything run better and smoother.

People are not born with common sense, only with an ability for it to develop along the way.  I’m sure everyone knows someone who doesn’t have an ounce of common sense. Somehow, those people either weren’t paying attention, or they weren’t born with the ability to develop it.

Then again, I’ve heard it said that common sense is like deodorant … those who need it most don’t use it.
