SUPER EGO: He was just trying to say that you should loosen up and stop being so serious and mature about everything...
ID: no! he said i was too old! he was trying to say i look ugly and old! and as if that weren't enough, my singing sounded like crying to him!
SUPER EGO: well...no...he was just teasing...
ID: no he wasn't! how come no one else told me that?
EGO: guys...
ID: oh shut up! why do u keep coming in between us....stop interrupting!
EGO: but i'm the mediator....
ID: (rolling eyes)....there she goes again....
EGO:....and u guys simply have to listen to me!
SUPER EGO: u know what? she's right...
EGO: thank you...( with an exaggerated bow)....it doesn't matter what he said or what he was trying to say....all that matters is what u think...
