My meanness is spreading to my youngest child, who to my inner angst is way too much like me. He is hysterical - to me. To others he comes across as rude. Unfortunately I understand him too well. Learning my mean skills from the hip (as the saying goes) at my father's side, I have now passed on the tradition... and I feel pretty bad about it - Most of the time...
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
I should not find myself giggling along with my 9-year old when he is making fun of other people! It is mean and cruel... yet there I am, fully understanding his thought processes and laughing on the inside as well as the outside. I may need help, but honestly feel that there is not much that can be done to change my wicked ways. Empathy is something I do posses, oddly enough. But first appearances are just that - first. And as such are open to individual interpretation. I believe that everyone does it, but they are not as open about it - either to themselves or to others. They may not outright laugh when they see someone that they perceive as "funny" looking, most people have better manners; but their thoughts are not as pure as the falling snow either. I see someone that gets me wound up and I might just guffaw then and there. Isn't it a shock that I have not had my ass kicked? YES! - Yes it is.
Do you wear your pants down around your butt? I will totally laugh at you. I will not be subtle either. Are you an over 50-year old woman with purple streaked hair? Yep, I will laugh at you. Are you morbidly obese sporting lycra? Boy, are you asking for it! Does your child run amok in public screaming or otherwise acting like a total moron? You and your child are part of my entertainment and anger... Just so you know.
And God forbid your kids (grand children too) are obese... That is all on YOU, you stupid shit! How dare you ruin their lives by allowing that to happen to them? They are going to have a horrendously harsh life due to their weight - their self-image is shattered an it is all because you could not make the right choices for them - and how DARE you!???
