“Get The Wrong End Of The Stick”

Many people misconstrue things to suit their own purpose.
Just had a talk with my daughter. She was saying that some of her friends are freaked out about the latest end of the world date... May 21, 2011...
“How do you feel about it?” I asked.”
“It’s scary.”
“What did I always tell you all when those astounding situation keeps coming up?”
"Don't stress yourself about things you have no control over,” she said.
