They say it takes a village, but what happens when your village is full of people who only know how to take? In this essential episode of The Grammar of Us, we are getting real about energetic vampires, manipulators, and the people they send to do their bidding—the "Flying Monkeys."

We often ignore the early warning signs because we want to see the best in people. Today, we are tuning our ears to the specific "grammar" of a taker. How do they ask for things? How do they react to the word "no"? And how can you identify the third-party enforcers they send to guilt-trip you back into line?

Tune in to learn the practical tools you need to spot a taker before they get close enough to drain you, and how to shut down the flying monkeys without losing your mind.
