S & M, the Interns & my Wii Fit

 I've always gotten the words Sadistic & Masochistic confused.  It's not like in Bible college they said, "A Pharisee is someone who is all about following the rules they were 'Fair-is-sees' and the Sadducees did not believe in  heaven therefore they were 'Sad-u-see'; oh! And by the way, a sadistic person derives pleasure from inflicting pain & a masochistic person derives pleasure from receiving pain!" Yes, I also have my masters in counseling, but I still get these words confused; so when I want to employ those words I just mumble the first part and end with a bold ISTIC.. "saaamaaaassssISTIC Jerk!"

At the end of each intern term we debrief as a team and each person answers the following questions:  1)what was your God moment?  2) your funniest moment? 3) what will you take away from this experience?  & 4) A shout out?

This term the God moments ranged from:  The miracle of a woman getting up and walking out of her wheel chair to (possibly also a miracle) Aaron holding a baby and realizing, "Hey I don't really hate kids!" Each category usually holds a wide range of answers like these; people are different!  However, one category had little to no range this term, the funniest moment category! It went like this:

  "When Jess fell down in the middle of the clean water skit & couldn't walk afterwards!"

  "When Ashley stepped off the curb and had to go to the hospital!"

"When we had the kids act out the Good Samaritan story and somehow the Samaritan ended up being the fattest  (healthiest) kid there and Richard was the donkey and she had to ride on him!"

"When Morgan challenged Mary Beth to the pull up contest in the back of the canter and MB jumped rather than pulled and busted her head on the steel top likely resulting in a concussion!"

"When we had to run thru the Miami airport and Marissa was turned around running backwards to tell everyone where to go and she literally bounced off that big column!"

Then I realized in terms past it has been very similar:  "When your face swelled up!"  "When Cameron got smacked in the face with the poop rag!" "When Corey was stuck hanging from the wall with his very uncomfortable harness on!" "When Debby almost smacked the tree zip lining!"

The interns are SADISTIC, it's Sad-u-cee! Who enjoys seeing others inflicted with pain?  I mean I'll admit I've viewed The Grape Lady on YouTube more than once and gotten a decent ab workout in, but I don't DVR "Wipe Out" or anything! So I've been left wondering am I the OTHER one! Do I like to inflict pain? (No comment from the peanut gallery, it's a rhetorical question!!!)

Last night I had a revelation:  I turned on my wii fit, all the Mii s came out, one of which is my skinny little sister & more than one of her men friends who have been around long enough to create Miis.  The only Men Miis that belong to Mii are  (is) my dad! So that's pain infliction #1 & #2.  Then MY Mii comes out, (your height + your weight = your shape!) equalling pain infliction #3,4, & 5!! THEN I step on and the Wii (which is obviously a practicing SADIST!) has the audacity to moan "ooohhhhh!" Then it says other nice things to you like, "That's Obese!" "This mind challenge was obviously not your thing!" "Your wii fit age is 39!!! That's 10 years older than your actual age!" "You are unbalanced!" (Pain inflictions: #6-10)

Sooo, to sum it up: Sadducee = Sad-U-see, Pharisee = Fair-is-see, Sadistic = The Interns & The WiiFit, Masochistic = MBK.

(Nope you really can't get these last 5 minutes of your life back!!!)
