<br />The group laughs, often applauds, they recognize themselves, they have seen this in many <br />meetings. I ask them, rhetorically, “Have you ever experienced this kind of argument before? <br />They all nod their heads. <br /> <br />Everyone wants the group to repeat their story line: <br />I have Rob and Crista return to the story <br />teller group. I turn to the others: <br /> <br />“What Rob and Crista both want is to win this argument, and have everybody else repeat <br />their sentence as the entire story line.” <br /> <br />I ask Rob to repeat his sentence, and for the others to repeat it exactly as he said it. <br /> <br />Rob: A porcupine walked into the meadow.” <br /> <br />Kathy: A porcupine walked into the meadow.” <br /> <br />Laura: A porcupine walked into the meadow.” <br /> <br />Jon: A porcupine walked into the meadow.” <br /> <br />Debbie: A porcupine walked into the meadow.” <br /> <br />Dawn: A porcupine walked into the meadow.” <br /> <br />Crista (resisting): NO WAY! There he met a female porcupine who became his mate for life.” <br /> <br />Again, the community laughs. They understand the implications of this activity. Now, they <br />she <br />know, Crista wants everyone to repeat her sentence, because has the truth. <br /> <br />The story is all mixed up: <br /> In addition to everyone wanting to be right with their “story line,” <br />when the group meets, they are seated out of order. I move the standing participants around, <br />mixing their order. Then I ask them to repeat their sentence: <br /> <br />Debbie: The bear growled at the porcupine when he approached.” <br /> <br />Laura: “He saw another animal in the meadow.” <br /> <br />Rob: A porcupine walked into the meadow.” <br /> <br />Dawn: “This frightened the porcupine, so he climbed a tree to get away from the bear. <br /> <br />Kathy: “It was a warm and sunny day.” <br /> <br />Crista: There he met a female porcupine who became his mate for life.” <br />Jon: “It was a bear, an angry bear just waking up from a winter nap.” <br /> 33 <br />
