“Mine! No, that one is yours. No, this one is mine. You took the yellow one. No, you took the pink one. I’m going to tell on you! I don’t like you! Well, I don’t like you!”
But instead it is a conversation in a board room. The scenario used to be entertainment watched on TV to laugh about. Because people have changed.

I do not engage. 1 Timothy 6:11 says, “But you, Dana: Run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith.” I shouldn’t engage in those beliefs or behavior.
