Me, Myself, and I
A Short Story About the Misuse of Pronouns

I have something to say to You. I really think that You need to listen to every word that I has to say. Don’t be fooled by the words chosen in this story. I is very smart and know how to tell a good story.
First of all, so very sorry. We didn’t mean to get You involved in any of this. You just happened to be an eyewitness to all that happened. The truth is that I wasn’t even talking to You. I was talking to Me. True, Myself kept interrupting every time I spoke. That’s what He normally do. This made Me mad. Now, Me don’t talk to Myself anymore.
It’s not a good that when Me stop talking to Myself. I tried to restore the friendship, But He wouldn’t allow it. He told Me that Myself got what was coming. Myself poked Me and Me attacked Myself. He tried to stop Him but Him got into it with Me. Now He won’t talk to Him. I couldn’t do anything but watch.
Me use to be such good friends with Myself and I. The 3 would be seen together all of the time. Where one would go, the other would be there also. I remember when He got Me arrested. Myself was arrested after claiming to being with Him. He was able to prove that both Me, and Myself was with I. In the end, all 3 was in jail together.
We was never part of that group. We was always with Them. They would join in with that group often, but not all of the time. They would be with Us most of the time. They saw Me attack Myself and ran and got We. We was on the phone with You and soon made His way to the site where it all happened. We didn’t even know that the phone was still on.
As soon as Me punched Myself in the face, We screamed at Him to stop Them. Them was running to intervene but wasn’t strong enough to do anything about it. I wanted to get between but was pulled down by Them. We went to help but fell down when They crashed into He and We.
They came and joined the intervention. Tripping over Them’s legs, They fell down also. With one more blow, Myself fell to the ground pulling Me down also. It seems as if, if They would have walked away from Us in the beginning, They would have been OK. Now, Us tried to walk away but somehow also ended up on the ground.
The group looked up and saw You still standing across the street, not lifting a finger in this battle. I figured that You was smart not to get involved.
In the end, a group of 8 friends were all on the ground on top of each other. Frowns were turned into grins and then into laughter. Nobody could remember how this whole thing got started but the rest of them didn’t. Each one got off the ground and hugged. Me, Myself, and I walked off together. They looked over and saw that You was recording this event on His cell phone. His was not aware of it.
If You was not confused by this story than something must be very wrong with the way that You think. You must be just as crazy as I is. I saw the whole thing happen and was just as confused as We. Me is now in therapy to get over it. He now talks to Myself again. They reinstated friendship with I. I is very happy for the gain to be back together. He and Them wants to turn this into a movie. I would love to see that happen. Wouldn’t You.
