Things not to say to me....

"Why are you so crabby?" -- If I'm not crabby... saying this will undoubtedly make me crabby. Know that.

"I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but..." -- then DON'T!

"You look SO much like your dad!" -- Love my dad...don't want to look like him..I'm not sure any girl does want to look like her father.

"I was about your age when I got engaged" OR "Don't worry. My..(mother, friend, cousin, aunt...) was almost thirty before she got married". -- Thanks. Not helpful.

"Go ahead. Get pissed." -- that's for you, Mr. B.

"Teacher's are so lucky - you get the whole summer off!" -- Yeah. Right. I had to teach summer school starting a couple days after regular school finished. That's right - I had to teach summer school, or get two more jobs to get me through the summer...lucky me.

"I know. You're right. He's totally an a**hole." -- Then stop talking about him!!!

"We have found you a match" -- screw you E-harmony. I don't know what I answered to those questions to make you think 'Roy' the 42 year old, part-time sanitation worker with two kids by different women who lives with his mom in Nowhereville, WI was the "Perfect Match" for me, but I think you're full of crap.

There's more.. but I feel my blood pressure rise as I write, so I will save them for another time.

PS: In the world of health: I am getting my tonsils removed on Monday. That's right. Happy Summer Vacation to me!! I will be healed just in time to get my room ready for next year's class of 18 Special Education Kindergarteners. Yee haw.
