If you have ever been ordered to do something that was supposed to be good for you, what did you get out of it?

Meh.

I was obliged to go to one hell of a lot of church activities growing up. And I’m not talking Sunday School, either; I had to sit still and quiet for 2 hours, three times a week from as young as I can remember. Sleeping was out of the question, too.

The actual content of the services was entirely lost on me, apparently, but I do now have self-discipline and patience in spades. I can easily endure long, boring ordeals that would drive most people nuts.

Thanks, Mom.

I was told by my doctor to stop drinking so heavily, after some results came through :-/
I lost two stone in six weeks :-)
And I can breath again too…….

My doctor ordered me to take medications for various ailments I have. I guess they are keeping me alive, but I’m not sure.

I was told not to get giddy at Christmas parties ever again. I have not since. (I think you know why…wink).

Look it up.

Pretty much anything I asked my parents.

I did. It worked.

@MRSHINYSHOES I think that experience is often a great teacher.

@wundayatta I guess it taught me the lesson that no means no, right?

@MRSHINYSHOES Honest. It’s not for me to decide what your lesson is.

@wundayatta Well, to be honest with you, I think I learned my lesson. It was an eye-opener for me, don’t ya think? :(
