457. You don't HAVE to accept insults.

When you were a kid did you ever have your sister or your brother or maybe a best friend say something mean to you and instead of taking it to heart you said “I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you”. And with that whatever name they called you or whatever mean thing they said that you didn’t like, you were letting them know that it wasn’t affecting you, in fact it bounced off them and was stuck to them now like glue.  It was very effective, if you remember. They would get so mad and often say “No, I’m Rubber! Or some silly comeback like that. But they knew you had already won the day because their mean words weren’t going to affect you because you wouldn’t allow it, in fact they only now affecting them even more because now it was stuck to them like glue!  But have you ever really given that little saying some thought as an adult?  I mean we were pretty ahead of our time by using that. We were letting someone else know that their words can’t affect us at all, in fact their words affect them way worse because now they’re stuck with them.   Really genius.   When did we stop that?  Check out Episode 457! I love you guys!
