No Teasing Allowed

Ugh. Stress. I am just beginning to realize how SENSITIVE I am. It is easy to offend me if you are my friend and you pick on me.

I always tell the kids "It's only funny if BOTH parties think it's funny."

Teasing is generally NOT nice. But then, the all time best poster in the world (The Brother-Offended Checklist by Doorposts) says:

Do not be easily Provoked. Your attitude should be that of Christ Jesus. Phil 2:5

Do you ever find yourself being admonished by scripture and going "Yeah, yeah, I know I know."

NOT very Godly I'd say....lol

Ok, so STOP teasing your kids, your husband, the dog and ME!

I feel bad. I feel like I may have teased you. I'm not even sure if I did. I grew up in a teasing family, so I don't even know if I'm doing it. I'm sorry for possibly teasing you. I mean it. I am NOT teasing you about this. I agree with you, teasing is sort of mean, but this is the cheesy answer my family always gave you when teasing got out of control..."I only tease because I love you." Lame-o- answer!
Honestly, I hope I wasn't one of the offending party's. You know I'm serious and you know I'm neurotic and could go on all day like this apologizing. I promise, no more teasing! I mean it.

I want to clarify. Saying "oh, I don't even know if I did it" sounds cheesy! Of course I KNOW I tease. So yes, I know I tease and I am going to make every effort to stop it. But I do love you! So that part was correct.
