“Somebody oughta”

I’m a regular reader of “Live with Flair,” the creative outlet for educator and communicator Heather Goodman.

She’s a great writer and has sharp instincts into the world around her.

I really liked her most recent post, “Make Yourself That Somebody.”

She caught herself complaining about a safety issue on a public sidewalk. When she said out loud, “Somebody should really fix it..”, she began to question just who “somebody” is!

And she concludes that we are that “somebody.”

I find myself using the same expression.

Somebody ought to clean the spill in the breakroom
Somebody ought to sign up to serve nursery duty
Somebody ought to clean up the widow’s yard down the street
Somebody ought to share a good word with that woman who has so many problems
Somebody ought to step up

Read her blog here, and I’m wondering, what kinds of things have you been waiting for somebody to do, and all along, it should be you?
