It was suggested that Tuesday's blog was a tad on the "pejorative" side. Uh...ouch...knife to my heart! This blog has been buoyed by happy sunshine, unicorns and rainbows, daily celebrations and things of that nature since it's inception. Yesterday's blog was meant to 85% entertain, 10% inform and 5% get an "amen" from my girls...(which by the way...it totally did). My readership of five all agreed it was quite funny and "true"...with the exception of my one who said it was pejorative. It bothered me all night long. (Of course it did...I am a "pleaser" and I never want anyone to be disappointed in me.)
So...here's the real deal, the "skinny" if you will....
This blog entry was not about one particular person, per se. Although, I will grant you, it does read that way. Sometimes....(eek...gasp...) I embellish for dramatic purposes. There...I said it! No...my stories are not made up (a la A Million Little Pieces). Should Oprah "discover" me she won't find years later that I fabricated these stories. They are all real, real-lived, real-pathetic!
Indeed a conversation with a girlfriend or an actual event might spark an idea. And...like any good social researcher (I just gave myself that title and coordinating tiara) I report my "results" (real life poop situations) to the general public. In my "professional" experience my "results" have shown (through a series of controlled experiments with "blind" subjects over a number of years) that most boys don't ask interesting personal questions. And c'mon....asking the real questions is a blast! I don't understand why they want to miss out on the fun?
As I drove home last night...one iconic image kept coming to mind as I considered what I had written and how it was interpreted. Here it is....interpret it as you will. I know what my interpretation is and I will never tell...lest the wrath of Gloria befall me!
