Imagine my reaction face

May 30, 2010 10:56

Last night, we went out for dinner to a restaurant with an attached play area. (Aren't we fancy?) I don't cook on Saturday nights, and we didn't want to spend a ton of money. The kids were happy to get their ya-yas out, and Tom and I got to read for a bit. Everyone wins ( Read more... )

All I wanted was to let my kids climb around and not tear up my house for a couple of hours. Dude.

Not nearly on the same level as this, but at the playground a little while ago, some guy was yelling across the play structure to some woman that he could see through her skirt. He was appreciative, at least, but I was so mortified for her. DUDE. SHUT UP.

Anyway. "Mommy is bad." Holy shit.

Why would he yell that? So inappropriate! Sheesh.

I was just ... so sad all night. I couldn't shake that juju.

He started out by saying she shouldn't sit on the bench, I guess because the skirt was also short, which would have been plenty, but then he KEPT GOING. He was young, which doesn't really excuse being a boor, but I recall I used to perversely enjoy saying inappropriate things, and only later developed enough empathy to stop being an asshole and avoid embarrassing others in public.

Uh, AWKWARD.

SERIOUSLY.

Oh, Lord. Too bad you can't keep a blood cap squirreled away in your for such emergencies and just start spontaneously bleeding from your mouth as necessary.

People tend to want to tell me things like that all the time. I, in return, tend to want to tell them how to handle it, but I have trained myself to say, "I'm sorry. I can't know this."

She did it right as she was walking out, so I couldn't even grab my forehead in a faux migraine. I think I've earned the right to fake one.

Gramma needs an anonymous blog... Sometimes keeping a secret just puts such a weight on your spirit that it has to come out, and who's safer, who's less likely to pass it along, who's less likely to embarrass you about it than a perfect stranger that you're probably never going to see again...

Agreed!
