You all know the world would be a better place if more people consulted me before making decisions, right? Well, I agree.
Early this morning, I was making (another) statement to that effect about some decision made by some unnamed person with which I, apparently, did not agree. BigGirl overheard me speaking about their "brilliant decision" and interjected.
"Doesn't sound like they were brilliant to me," she corrected me.
"I know. I was being sarcastic," I explained.
Throughout the day, I became increasingly aware of how much I must use sarcasm...at least on a Friday. (I'm hoping that I just tend to be more sarcastic when I'm tired. Surely that's it, right?) Everytime I said something sarcastic, BigGirl picked up on it. "Was that sarcasm?" "Are you being sarcastic?"
I don't usually describe myself as sarcastic, but from where I'm sitting right now, wow. I need to cut back! I feel like the smoker who finally opened their eyes and realized how many packs they were smoking each day. And, to think, I have wondered from where my darling daughter gets her flippant replies and tart little remarks??
I'm reminded daily how much work I've cut out for myself...just imagine her as a teenager!
On a happy (unsarcastic) note...
Congratulations, Cheryl! You won the free poster from digitalroom.com! I'm sure the picture of your neices will look FABULOUS - and what a great gift idea! :)
TGIF, everyone! May your Saturday be super and your Sunday be simple!
Thanks, Jenny! :) My Hubby & I are both so sarcastic, we're gonna be doomed when we have kids, LOL. On another note, it's after 10 and I still haven't blogged. It's nights like these when I regret having signed up for NaBloPoMo. But we're so close to the end, I feel like I can't give up now. ::sigh::
