Nip

I love the old Andy Griffin show. It was not only nice family entertainment, but it was also funny. One of the funniest was Barney Fife. He was always doing goofy things. Like trying to reform criminals by giving them crafts to work on and they made a key and escaped. Once he went undercover as an old lady and everyone knew him. He always had an opinion or piece of advice that was crazy, but one piece of advice was good. "Nip it in the bud."
If you see something bad starting, stop it before it gets too big to stop. This can be the way people treat you or you treat people. This can be bad behavior. This can be a party that is getting out of hand. In fact this can be anything in life. If it is not a good thing, nip it in the bud. Well that's all I have to say. Good day.
