Two things

I was out for a drink with a friend last night when the woman next to me at the bar, REALLY said this, loudly, to the bartender, walking by…

Lady: “Two things!”
… (seriously, no “excuse me” or “bartender?” as he walked by)

Lady: “Number One, you never brought us our water. Number two,
what nationality are you, we’re trying to figure it out?”
Bartender: “Oh, ok. I’m sorry.”

My brain: “huh? what? What the heck is this lady saying. I really can’t believe she just yelled that out at the bartender.”

Bartender: “I’m American.”
Lady: “No I mean what is your heritage?”
Bartender: “My mother is Japanese”
Lady: “Oh,ok.”

This woman needs some major work with addressing people with respect and basic social interaction. I wonder if she could have seen a clip of herself and hear and saw how she sounded and acted? What would she think? Is it ever ok to be abrasive? She came across so rude, it’s nuts.

It’s disturbing to think about all those moments, when we’re not so proud of how we acted. Can you imagine if they all were on video? I would not want to see some of those clips. I’ve had my moments for sure.

Hopefully when I ask a stranger a question I’ll say excuse me and please. I am a good person, yay (kidding).

Lots of hair

E bomber has enough hair for a Barret now. Pretty exciting.

Can you say, sweet?  Look, I’m not saying that it’s fun to

dress up kids like dolls or play things, but if you are

utterly in love with your child (as most parents are)

it’s quite fun to see them looking so frigging cute.

Not sure if I spelled Barret correctly.
