Id, Ego & Super Ego

“You know you shouldn’t have taken that candy bar off the shelf, you have money, you should have paid for it, that was wrong Id,” said Super Ego.

“Well I wanted it, so there,” Id said, childishly, while spitting a raspberry at his big brother.

“Guys, guys, must you always fight like this?,” said an exasperated Ego, the middle brother. “Here give me the Snickers, I’ll take it back and pay for it, ok?”

While Ego was remedying the situation Id started to whine, “Why did he take my candy bar I wanted it, it’s not fair, he ruins everything, I hate him.”

“Can’t you ever behave?,” Super Ego groaned, “You know the difference from right and wrong, I know you do, but you’re such a selfish moron, you just can’t control yourself.”

Ego, returning from the store, with a candy bar for each of them, paid for of course, said, “What fresh crisis are we in now?”

Id still bawling like a baby over the loss of the candy bar looked up , snatched all three of the bars in Ego’s hand and ran down the block.
