I'm Right, You're less Right

Attorneys.  They're trained and paid to argue.  It's what they do. 

Now, I myself have never "officially" been put on trial or seen the inside of a courtroom (thankfully).  But, I will tell you that, despite my never going to law school, I am slowly learning the art of arguing.  It does not matter the size of the argument, large or small, you are in it to win it.  It is on like Donkey Kong.

According to Dr. Fiona Travis, a psychologist who has counseled lawyers for more than 20 years, most lawyers, on personality tests, score high on the “thinking” scales and low on the “feeling” scales. And it’s not something that happens only after a lawyer passes the bar. It goes all the way back to law school, where one learns to argue, cross examine, stonewall, delay, outwit, and avoid showing weakness to opposing counsel.

To me, it is funny.  Ever since Jesse finished KU law school, he has become a different man.  Sure, the stubbornness was always there.  But now, his life is one big courtroom. He's the Samson of arguments.  Always trying to win his case.

Now, you bring that kind of knowledge/determination into a marital argument (which thankfully we don't have many of) and he's unstoppable.  He can take the most absurd idea and make it sound legit.  How is a poor old girl like me suppose to keep up?  Perhaps, I need to go to law school so that we can both be on the same page. 

Lord knows I love him!  How can I not, when he gave me four of these?
