Negotiation is easy, but you have to have a grown-up across from you.  Babies can’t do it, and dictators can’t do it, and in this world, catch-as-catch-can, you never know what you are getting on the other side of the table–malheureusement.  So know that you have a right to speak your peace, say your word, & screw them if they can’t take a joke.  You have the right to be at the table.  That’s what i never knew.  There was this mystery that everyone seemed to know except me.  i didn’t want to want something and was told to be quiet, or this is not how it is done, or you mustn’t say this.  Baloney, tittley-twit.  Say it.  The other person can have a fit, but do you not have the right to express your feelings–of course, without harming, insulting, or blaming someone else.  Not like ‘Dumb Dumb’, but no I’d rather not go to this restaurant, and then Negotiate.  Bedtime–Negotiate.  Work–Negotiate.  I’m really addressing the given, that not everyone has an opinion.  Yes, everyone has an opinion and everyone deserves to be heard–even the little, the homeless, the disabled, etc.  We all have that right to be a part of the soup of life.  Yes.  This is just a quickie, a bonus for being good readers, and going to the end.
