Comedy Around the World today travels through the lifespan. 

I heard something today--kids are dogs, and teens are cats.  Dogs love us unconditionally (except the ones who bite us).  Dogs are lovable.  They do  what we tell them to do. 

Cats live their own lives and don't want us to bother them.  They don't do tricks on command.  They know it all.

We get into trouble when we think that our dogs are still dogs.  But they have become cats.  We expect them to do dog things, but they don't.  We become irate.  The cats become irate.  

During this span of time, we are led by misconceptions, expectations, and false information.  We act on what we perceive about how dogs or cats are supposed to act.  We try to predict what they will do. 

But we don't listen to their perspective. 

We all have dogs and cats--and many other animals--that we deal with on a daily basis.  We're caught by surprise when our predictions are proven wrong.  What if we understood change and appreciated it, without trying to control or prevent it?  What if we let dogs be dogs and cats be cats?  

What if we helped all the cats and dogs and other animals in our lives to, "Get Your SHINE Together!"
