I once saw a car with a bumper sticker on the back which read “Stop Following Me”. There are times in my life when I wish I could WEAR a bumper sticker that says “Stop Following Me”.
There was that moment when I uttered a very inappropriate word in front of Younger Son when he was 2. He repeated it upon many an occasion, including a Thanksgiving meal at his grandparents. There was that time when I ‘bent’ a traffic law with two sets of blue eyes watching me from car seats.
“Stop Following Me”. Whether we like it or not – people are following us. They notice our actions and our words. Is it fair? Probably not...But when I misspoke, and when I ran that orange light – I knew I was wrong. I just didn’t want to suffer any consequences.
