Take Serious Things Seriously

There was an incredible talk at General Conference a few years ago by Elder Bedner (Bednar?) about being offended being a CHOICE, not something that is laid on you. And it's a great talk to someone like me who honestly and truly BELIEVES that!
However, I live with someone who does NOT believe that, and tonight got 'insulted' because I didn't take something he was describing 'as seriously as you should have.'
Sigh.
Are we having fun yet?
