Today, I give you the gift of the "I don't want to" card. You may use it whenever someone asks you to do something to day and you just don't feel like it. You don't need a reason, just hand them the card and be on your way. I found this when I was emptying out a box of junk. It was from back in Monster's 3 yr old days when his speech was delayed and his teacher thought his acting out was because he didn't have the tools to communicate. He had a multitude of cards that read "I'm mad", "I'm happy", etc. but my fave is "I don't want to."

As adults, it seems most of us have problems uttering these four simple words. We make excuses, we say yes when we don't want to and heap more stress onto our overfilled plates. Take a tip from a 3 yr old- just say "I don't want to".
