Snarky Thursday

Well it is Thursday morning and I must have gotten up on the smart ass side of the bed. I have been snarky and quick with a quip today. It must have been something in my coffee or maybe the moon is in a wise cracking phase. I could tell it was going to be yet another day of odd conversations and weird answers.

 When I got up this morning I was speaking with a sibling and I was asked why I didn’t say happy birthday to them, I said that is because we are not even sure it was your real birthday, and that our parents found you in a trash bin at the end of the street and adopted you. The reply I received was oh it’s going to be one of those days with you eh? Apparently this happens often which makes me find it funnier even more than I did before.

 When I came in to work this morning my supervisor made a comment about my belt and my Boots, I promptly replied I will give you my size if you want to purchase me something you think I should be wearing, and that being a fashion diva did not suit him and that a raise in pay would be necessary for any purchase at all. What did I get out of him a face that looked like it was hit by a box of hammers and a noise I can only assume was that of discouragement that he couldn’t get his way or make me feel like I was under his thumb.

At my desk a friend asked me what I thought Alligator’s used for dental floss, I told her People! She gave me a smug look and walked away. Another coworker and good friend walked by and asked me how my day was, I made a comment about how it felt like an odd day and they replied join the club, I replied no thanks I would not be a member of a club that has you in it.

 I can see a trend happening already and it is only 10 in the morning.

Happy Snarky Thursday everyone!

The age of “Because I can”

Do you remember the age you were and the first time you were able to use the phrase “Because I can” for the first time.

 I remember the first two times I was able to use that phrase. The First was when I got my first paycheck and I wanted to go to Burger King on a Saturday afternoon, my father said, why you going to Burger King there are plenty of things in the house you can eat. I remember thinking fine and feeling slightly sad and then a milliseconds later I hear angelic music and a light bulb flashed. I turned and looked at him and said because I can. It was like I was 10 feet tall, and that burger and fries was the best tasting lunch I had eaten

 The second memorable time I was able to use that phase was around 6 months after I was paying rent and out of High school. I informed my parents that I was going out and I would not be back until tomorrow sometime in the late morning. I started to get the lecturing and I stopped them cold with the I’m staying out because I can, I’m an adult I have a job, I pay to live here and I want too, there for I am going out and staying out because I can.

 After a moment of quiet that seemed to last forever I got the speech about my house my rules, I apologized and then looked at the both of them and say “May I go out and stay out over night and be back late morning, because I can and you say so…hahaha after a laugh I got the go ahead and I felt like I was on top of the world.

Can you remember your first “Because I can Moment”?
