This has become a popular saying in my house and with my friends and family. I really hate drama and have to remind myself at times that it is someone else's drama that I do not need to worry about it. Once in a while I do have to say oh no they are my monkeys and deal with it lol

Is this a popular saying or did someone in your family invent it?

i remembered that quote recently and looked it up and learned that it's a polish proverb, a way of saying 'it's not my problem'
