… that when people
call their pets "fur baby" it's fine but when I call a kid a
"skin dog" somehow I'm disgusting?
… that nowadays I run into
most of my friends at the pharmacy instead of at the nightclub?
… that I don't always
roll a joint, but when I do it's my ankle?
… that sometimes I think I’m
reasonably intelligent and other times I click the remote car door lock a
second, third, fourth or tenth time for extra lockiness?
… that I am a huge fan of
saying ‘You’re welcome’ really loud when people don’t say ‘Thank you’?
… that I feel adulthood is
like looking both ways before crossing the street and then getting hit by an
airplane?
… that years back, when an ex-boss, pleased with my performance, told me I was “going places”: and my first
thought was, “Yeah, an asylum?”
… that as I grow older unnecessary noise starts to irritate my soul?
… that there is literally no
tea on me that I won’t spill myself? So stop thinking y’all know.
… that my ability to read the
room is why I stay home a lot?
… that when I was looking for
the yee to my haw, I always ended up finding the hell to
my naw? |
"extra lockiness," LOL!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you gotta be extra sure!
DeleteAs far as noise is concerned your reaction to it could be due to a shortage of magnesium.
ReplyDeleteIt's just noise.

I think your Saturday "Why is it ..." posts are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThanks. They aren't all about me, but I think a lot of us can relate to some of them!
DeleteI hope the rest of your entry was funny, since I'm still stuck on skin dogs.
ReplyDeleteIf a cat can be a fur kid then a kid can be a skin dog.
Delete“that I am a huge fan of saying ‘You’re welcome’ really loud when people don’t say ‘Thank you’?” You have to be careful with this one. They may have said thank you and you're just too old to hear it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not even a fan of the term “fur baby” (because someone I know and don't like much uses it all the time) “skin dog” makes my skin crawl.
Oh, I make sure a Thank you wasn't uttered, mostly because I don't want to come off as rude to someone who said Thank you and I didn't hear them.
DeleteSkin dog just sounds creepy.
I don't care for fur baby, but I've never heard skin dog before. I've grown accustomed to people not saying thank you so I expect it.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I refuse to accept bad manners. You're welcome!

Similar to clicking lock multiple times is circling back home and make sure the garage door is closed! OCD is great! You’re welcome!
ReplyDeleteLuckily when I leave home I have to make a u-turn on the road so I can double-check the closed garage door without actually looking like I';m doing it.
DeleteI do believe "skin dog" is the perviest thought I've had all week! 😉
ReplyDeleteIt's all kinds of creepy ... unless you're a skin dog.
DeleteThe You’re welcome’ really loud when people don’t say ‘Thank you’ is one of my trademarks too.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to kiss my ass, but a simple Thanks does wonders.
Delete*Yes!! You don't say "Thank-You." I will call you out on it every time. And let's add that when I let you over in my lane I better see a hand waving back at me. You are not entitled.
ReplyDelete*As I get older, I just don't like excessive noise/mishegoss. It pains my soul.
I have been known to wave excessively at someone who has not waved a Thanks to me.
DeleteYeah, I wave too — I just don’t use all 5 fingers…
DeleteOf course, one hollers :You're welcome" when someone fails to say thank you. Doesn't everyone? LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were young, I could pretty much ignore most every noise. In fact, it was the quiet that was disconcerting. Now I get annoyed at the person in the car next to me playing its whomp whomp music. TURN IT DOWN!
You and I are on the same page!!!
DeleteYour self-analysis must be complete by now - unless of course you have more searching questions next week!
ReplyDeleteAlways searching! Checking the dark corners of the mind!
DeleteInquiring minds have to ask, , , , Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm happy to oblige ... Merry Christmas!
DeleteHahahaha, Bob. Good ones which I get 100%.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and Carlos and your beloved.
My Uncle Marion always made a rhyme for each New Year. If he were still here, he'd probably say something like "Let's score more in 2024."
I hope 2024 will be more than we hoped for.
Love and hugs to you and your family, Brother Bob.
Thanks Shelia.
DeleteHappy Ho Ho Ho and Happy 2024!!
The march goes on ...
