If anyone thinks for a single, solitary second that the matter in which you behave around and towards other people has no impact - you are highly mistaken. Grossly. Mistaken. That's my rant, getting into the crux of the matter would suck the remaining positive energy out of me and for sure, that same energy would likely find it's way to the Gulf of Mexico - for positive energy needs fresh air too - where it would then stick it's big toe in the cool, refreshing water...only to get eaten by a fish. One that does not need good, quality positive energy, for it's life map is directly linked to the dolphin coming straight at it at the same moment it sucked down said energy...to which the dolphin won't be able to use any of it, for the energy is now so minute that is weak and on one knee, gasping for breath. But I'm hoping for that dolphin don't ya know, maybe it can garner a bitty bit of that universal energy love and avoid any fisherman's nets. Wouldn't that be great?
So what I'm saying is, don't ever trust a person who snubs a two year old greeting you with a kind, enthusiastic hello.
Doing so causes her to look unsure of herself and just a tad sad that the new person didn't respond the way some other people have.
And it's just those looks that bring me to my knees and make me want to smash their face in.
But hk, do you really want to encourage her saying hello to strangers? Why? How did this happen?
Alright, first off, we've already started Age Appropriate stranger talks. It's a little weird, balancing caution vs paranoia with a two year old who's main aspiration lately was to wear "Cars" pull-ups rather than the crappy pink ones. Still, it has to be done.
Secondly, she's been exposed to a whole bunch of 'in your face' and 'hearty' greetings. I'm not sure the last time anyone's been traipsing around Army installations so let me share a bit. If you for one moment turn your gaze towards a solider that your passing, ten times outta twelve you will be given a good, solid "Hello, Good ....." The greetings have varied, for the girls and I have been to the hospital so much these past few weeks, time runs together. From a semi-outsiders point of view, these greetings are quite refreshing. I have no idea why, but hearing them just makes you smile, even if the day is trying to keep a girl down. So yeah, her learning comes from strange places.
Lastly, she's practicing her manners, traits I'm desperately trying to instill in the girls. Something else I'm instilling...and gasp if you want, don't caaarrreee...you give respect to those who reciprocate, shoulder up to those who treat you wrong. Talk to me about how that's wrong. I'm 33 and still trying to undo the ridiculous mind meld Southern crap of being polite and respectful to everyone. Regardless of their treatment towards you.
Bump. That.
So basically, don't be a bitch to my kids. Me and my positive energy will indeed, smash in your face.
With a smile of course. Because that's the one proper Southern thing that should be upheld.
That and my positive energy said so - and well, she wins.
So yeah, so much for not ranting.
*Smile*
With that, I present two tiny recuperating little people. And yes, this is a warning because I'm posting some damn pics.
And finally, at least for now *gigantic evil grin*
To the snobby lady at the major hardware store
You can Kiss my tiny baby heiny
