Refrigerator Rights


People are important. Pretty obvious statement. However, there is something to be said for close relationships; friendships that have deep understanding. Sometimes when many of my friends are home for Christmas or other breaks, we get together at Pickel's and play Bogge Pong. Without fail, we are all sweating by the end of the second game if not sooner. One by one, we all run upstairs and grab something to drink. Pickel doesn't mind because I have refrigerator rights at his house. When Jason is at my house he doesn't hesitate to find something to drink or grab some food. Some would call this rude. We look at it as a sign of close friendship. My brother and his friends do this very well. Actually many times I can't find food becuase his friends have eaten it all, which is okay I suppose. Are there people in your life that you are comfortable with? Comfortable enough that they can walk into your kitchen and take your food without asking? Refrigerator rights can extend beyond the kitchen as well. They extend as far as you will let them. Identify the people in which you have given rights to and those who you could possibly give them.

Good thoughts.......
Very few, probably less than ten. It is good to have people in your life that you feel that comfortable around. Those are the people that I try to invest time and energy into. Maybe one day we will need each other, I would want that person to feel like they can at least get something out of the frig without hesitating.
