"You Have to Come to My House"

Relationship.

Varied connections exist between all of us.  We can relate as a friend, relative, parent, acquaintance, co-worker, colleague, employee, customer, client, and more.  Once upon a time, I heard a very down-to-earth analogy to help understand some of these personal relationships.

Here's how it goes.  You have various people in your life.  Some are Sidewalk People.  Some are Porch People.  Some are Living Room People.  And some, very few, are Refrigerator People.  Huh?
