Niagra Falls

Years ago, there was a skit by Abbott and Costello, named Niagra Falls. Whenever the word "Niagra Falls" was said, it made Costello turn around and become possessed....Slowly I turn, step by step, was the catch phrase and then he went wild. We all have our Niagra Falls. It is a word or a situation that just sets us off and make us angry. I know the buttons to push with certain friends and family members and I have to admit that sometimes I knowingly press them. I have recently realized what my Niagra Falls is. It is disrespect. It became clear to me when I saw how my son reacted to someone the other day. I saw myself in him. We both would do anything for anyone, but if you disrespect or dismiss us as being ignorant...... watch out!! We discussed this and laughed. Now that we are aware of our trigger, will be careful not to pull it.
