Ok. Lots of times, people talk to Heidi like she’s a teenager, and she hates that. Hates it. So, about a month ago, she came over when Tommy was at the house, and he was playing the polite host and took her to the fridge and showed her the drink options we had, which was ridiculously adorable. Now, I was only half paying attention to this, and also only half-thinking when she told me that Tommy only offered her Kool-Aid™ and Gatorade™ as drink options, when there was clearly plenty of beer to be had. And my response to that was, “well, I think he understands that beer and margaritas are only for grown-ups”. And then, as my statement was met with cold silence, it caught my full attention, and when I looked over at her, she was giving me the stoniest face, ever. And then I realized that what in my head meant, “he’s not old enough to offer those to anyone” came across as “you aren’t old enough to drink them”. Hee!!

I like how Gatorade and Kool-Aid have the little copywrite signs...
ReplyDeleteNice try, there, E-Doe. I didn't even quite catch this post hidden among all of the others. I do get talked to a lot as if I'm a teenager, and I also get gross random men telling me I'm pretty. So what does that say about them? To me, this means that its not that they look at me and think, "waht an attractive woman", they think "what a hot 16 year old-and I'm in luck-her parents aren't around!!" What a bunch of pervs.
