    These weren't really rude, so much as just dumb. Clara is one, now, and a hairstylist at the salon asked why I didn't give Clara any of the candy that was at the front desk. I had taken a piece of Laffy Taffy for myself. I told her "Because she's one." Duh. And, then she proceeded to ask, "What? Did you at least give her a chocolate bunny at Easter? What are you going to do for Halloween?" First of all, she's ONE. It's August. Which means she was about 7 months old at Easter.

    I'm sure there are people out there who give young infants chocolate bunnies for Easter and let their 14-month-olds pig out on Halloween candy, but I choose to believe that it's not the norm. Call it putting my head in the sand, but lalalalalalalalala I'm not listening!

    Well, I definitely agree with you! I know when I have children, they are certainly not going to get candy until they're older... and no soda except on special occasions. America is just raising another generation of unhealthy people!!

    I can't even really think of a rude question I've been asked. I'm sure I have been plenty of times...

    A neighbor called one morning & asked if I was taking a nap & it was 10:00 in the morning. It took a whole 8 rings for me to get to the phone. I was only doing the laundry, dishes, sweeping the floor, letting the dog out, cooking up some apple sauce. Dah! I get up at 6:00 every morning & my crazy neighbor sleeps in till 9:00. Maybe I should call her at 6:00 & ask her if she is taking a nap.

    "I'm sorry but I just can't believe or understand why you would get THAT as a tattoo! You know that's permanent, right?"

    I have a thylacine on my shoulder blade. It was my first tattoo and I really love it. Why should I have to have a good reason to have it as a tattoo. Mostly it was just aesthetic but I guess part of it was just to have something unique. I've had it over a year and my only regret concerning it at all is that I couldn't have gone to a more skilled artist who could have made the lines just a bit smoother.

    Me too!!

    I also get the "when are you getting married?" or "don't you want to get married?" questions a lot. The same questions but about children I get all the time too. I've started just saying NO instead of explaining anything.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
