WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?

Now, if some strange older lady made that remark to you while standing in a grocery line how would you react?

My Story…

I went to a store to buy 2 KETTLE Bell Sets.  The set had 3 balls 5, 10, 15, pounds each. As I stood in line this senior aged lady wanted fresh roses so the cashier had to run into her stockroom to retrieve them. 

I stood in line patiently waiting for this SENIRCITZEN to receive her dam roses. This lady looked at me and asked… What was wrong with my face?  The way she said it was quiet horrifying. She repeated herself two times. 

I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped to the ground in horror. I looked at her and said… ummm…nothing? 

She then said well your face looks very painful… 

Honest to God I wanted to look around for a TV crew. 

I replied nope my face feel just fine. 

She then said it looks really chapped.

 

I said… It’s probably red from the wind outside but my face was not chapped. 

Then she said oh well it looks painful.. 

STOP... It is fine… 

I turned my back to her trying to give her a hint to stop talking to me! 

I’m wondering to myself...what is taking this cashier so frickin long…

This Senior citizen lady wanted to continue a conversation. I am not RUDE so I politely responded with short clipped answers. 

She said… Love your coat…

Seriously you say my face looks ugly and painful and you want to complement me on my frickin jacket…Umm Thanks… 

She then said looks warm…I reply Yep it is. 

Gesh lady take a hint…. DON’T TALK TO ME WIERDO! 

Honestly why do senior citizen feel they have the right to just say whatever the fuck they want? 

I use Mary Kay Face cream and other facial products. My face is frickin FABULOUS… SHUT UP! 

Thank you very much ...you weirdo!

So…Knowing all of this what would you have done?

Man Eyes...

My son is a real character I tell ya…

 

See, I gave him my credit card to buy dinner last night and told him to put it on put on the roll top desk when he got home.

He FAILED those directions

.

So at 7am in the morning I had to wake him up to retrieve my card. He pulled his wallet out of right side back pants pocket and took the credit card out and gave it to me with an apology.

 Speed forward 5 hours…

Son~ “Mom…Did you see where I put my wallet after I gave back your credit card?”

Me~“Nope! Maybe you put it back into your pants pocket or on your night   

         stand or maybe you fell back to sleep with it in your hand?”

Son~ “I looked for it everywhere.”

Me~ “Don’t know what to tell you.”

Son~ “Can you help me look for it?”

Me~ “Sure.”

So I go into his room and picked up his pants and can you guess where his wallet was? 

In the other back pants pocket… 

Gosh! He has his father’s man~ness. If it doesn’t hit them in the hand they don’t see it.

I handed him his wallet and socked him in the arm. He laughed… and said thanks mom knew you’d find it. 

Is it just my men or does anyone else have these "man eyes" problems?

How its not his fault...

Here is a story about my son and how it isn’t his fault…

Car accident 1~ Just turned 16 got his license and wanted to go to get some food at a fast food place… His friend drove his own car and my son followed behind him.

God only knows why they didn’t drive together. I guess being a new driver and all they both wanted to drive.

Any~whoo…

His friend slammed on his breaks and my son tried to change lanes while trying to avoid an accident. Nope took his friends back tail light out…$350 in damages.  My sons comment was "it wasn’t his fault cuz his friend slammed on his breaks without any warning”…oh ok… (Insert eye roll please)

Car accident 2~ This wasn’t an accident per say. My son proceeded to pullout of the driveway and turned to soon and clipped our van’s bumper that was parked on the street next to the drive way (Which by the way is ALWAYS parked there). He clipped the back tail light of his car and put a nice scrap on our front bumper. He said that it wasn’t his fault! “Because dad parked to close to the driveway”….oh ok…. (Insert eye roll and a heavy sigh). Oh and this happened like a month ago.

Car accident 3~ He was working at a busy outdoor mall and wanted to get a sandwich across the street at anther outdoor mall but needed to cross a very busy 6 lane street that went between the two malls. 

So he waited for a while to get across. The car that was going to turn into the mall he was coming out from wave for him to go across. He proceeded to go across, stopped in front of her to make sure there weren’t any cars coming. 

When he looked he only saw stopped cars waiting to get into the mall that he was exiting. So he started to go and… Boom… Yep... you guessed it... 

She came out from nowhere.

He never saw her.  His bumper from the license plate to the left side of his bumper broke off. 

Her car spun around and broke her back axle. 

Can you guess what he said?...

 He said it... It wasn’t totally his fault. She should have tried to avoid being hit….OMFG!!! 

It is your fault! 

You hit her or snagged her bumper but never the less you shouldn’t have gone out that way. 

We told him in the future to exit by a light where you can safely turn in to a parking lot. 

He finally took all of the credit for this accident and will once again be paying for his accident. 

He is very lucky we have excellent insurance with accident forgiveness. So our insurance will NOT go up.. Thank God!! Oh and this one happened right before Christmas... Great timing right?

 No body was hurt in any of these accidents! Only my sons bank account.
