Rant: When people ask the WORLD, usually via the Facebook, questions that they could just Google the answer on their own.
Hey you: be self-sufficient, I'm not the Google.
Rant: When you are excited about something and someone tries to "one up" you. What is that? We call them One Uppers at our house.
Hey you: Get off my cloud...wait, no, get on my cloud- there is room for everyone. We can all be excited about something, this is NOT a competition.
One Uppers: 1. get self-aware, please. 2. I'm not telling you my good stuff to make you jealous, I want to hear your good stuff too- share away, but could you put your listening ears on first, please? I promise to give you the same respect.
Rant: When people say The Facebook, The Google, The Interwebs...what?! Oh. That's me.
Hey Me: Acknowledged. And I blame Nate.
Rave: To the Mama at the grocery store today that actually told her children "No, you may not have that" - good job! To the same Mama that when her child said, "Mama, when I was at Kaley's house we...." and the Mama ACTUALLY listened to her child and then ENGAGED her with questions and more conversation. The Mama did not pick up her iPhone or give her the brush off, she actually LISTENED and SPOKE to her child. There was no "Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama..." So refreshing.
Yes, being a mom is exhausting and it's not always easy to engage...I'm not talking about that right now, I just want to give this one Mama a shout out for (at least) appearing to care what her daughter had to say. Again. So refreshing. Good job, Mama.
