A cupcake is more of a vehicle to get frosting into my mouth. Why bother taking in the extra calories by eating the cake part?
I don't think nursing mothers should have to take their babies into the bathroom for feedings because I don't like taking meals in there, either. However, I don't think it's fair for parents to change their babies on the floor of the public airport terminal two feet away from where I am snacking on trail mix. I don't think that's fair play.
Reality t.v. shows about groups of people with weird hobbies, for example Toddlers and Tiaras, are not cruel. This is just an objective camera lens showing carefully edited footage of American families destroying the self-esteem of their babies OR creating egomaniacal monsters and should be considered just another form of cultural anthropology. I would say there is less outcry over the Rwandan genocide than there is about this show and I don't get that. Let these God-fearing Americans spray-tan their infants and dress them like prostitutes.
You should make lots of eye contact with the person giving you a pedicure to show your appreciation for the horrible job they have of touching feet all day. Like a hunter crying over and thanking a deer he just killed to feed his family or hang on his wall.
You are so right about every little thing. Also, I like your slide show.
ReplyDeleteI would like to add a philosophic musing: if every performance (dance, theatre, music) gets a standing ovation, some day soon we will have to stay silent and seated to let the performers know that we thought the show was terrific.
Lynn - you make every situation classy.
