1. You're TWO. Go to the potty.
Seriously. Four boys - potty training was, for the most part, a breeze. I thought girls were supposed to be easier. Not mine. My now 2 year old daughter waits until we're on the way out the door to tell me she's poo poo'ed her diaper. If you can tell me, you can pull your diaper down and go #2 on your own. I can't tell you how AWESOME it was after having dropped her and Nico off at daycare that I could STILL smell her (literally) crap diaper in the air. I couldn't open the moon roof fast enough...
2. Don't touch me.
If I don't know you, don't put your hands on me.
Today in the elevator after returning to the office this morning some guy - enamored by my arms (I was wearing a sleeveless shirt) - , ran a finger down my shoulder and upper arm and said "They're very nice". Really?...I mean...REALLY??? I didn't know what to do. I was frozen in shock. What is WRONG with me??? Thank GOD I work on the second floor. I practically RAN from the elevator...
On the way home from work, after the long trek out of my downtown Dallas office building and making the (I kid you not) 7 min trek from my office to the parking garage where my car is parked, I had decided to NOT roll up my window after "tagging" out of the garage because it was nice out and I hadn't "touched" outside all day. For those who don't really know me, I really love spending time outside (even when it's hot) and hanging out at lunch is a particularly favorite past-time for me (esp. since downtown people watching is the best).
Well, I had the window of my car down, and I was searching for a station when I noticed this car pull up beside me at the red light. Hispanic guy - no music...at first. As soon as he saw me, he (I noticed through the corner of my eye) rummaged within the car and the next thing I know - Rhianna and Eminem are playing. Loudly. The new one. Love the Way You Lie.
Okay, okay. Normally I'm not a rap fan, but I love Eminem so I liked the song. But that's not the point. The point is, don't assume just because I am Black that I like hip hop/Rap/R&B because my first love is Alternative rock (old school and emo).
So I did what any self respecting woman would do - I ignored him and rocked out to MGMT. I showed him. (LOL)

haha! i love this!
and my favorite thing to do is blare rock and/or classic rock loud as possible just because i know people always look twice.
:D
A man touched your arm?? Umm HELL NO!!! I get the people touching my hair and my cat claws about extend 5 inches at that point.
Thanks for the laugh this morning. Ashleigh does the same thing with the poop situation. She had a good potty run then decided to not go in the potty anymore. She loves to tell me after the fact.
Well I really don't know what I would have done if some strange guy ran his fingers down my arm. LOL I already have issues with personal space this may have tipped me over the edge...hahaha
It's the same thing here. I rarely listen to rap. I'm trying to remember a rap song and I can't. My usual is symphony but the kids are bored of it hahaha
I have taken up to listening to my husband's Kotton Mouth Kings CDs which are pretty good contrary to what I thought.
hahah Thanks for the support girls!
Candy - yeah, I am with you. I will sometimes blare "my" music too and people will always do a double take.
Sheliz and Atasha - I'm not sure what this man was thinking but he almost proceeded to walk out of the elevator with me even though I was on 2 and he was going to 10. Again...I couldn't WAIT TO EXIT the elevator.
What's funny is, I had actually stood in the corner away from him on purpose because he even 'looked' like he wanted to invade my space. Crazy, crazy man.
Rania - OMaGawd. I'm laughing so hard that I CANNOT comment...the guy in the elevator, really??!! What a fuh-REAK! Stop STOP - my face hurts...BAHaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaahaaa! Man I miss another funny woman...
