Because Otherwise You Would Be Dead

I am so grateful for my sense of humor. It allows me to still maintain relationships with people after they give me backhanded compliments. I'm a little tired of "I wish I could be like you, you are so brave to (insert backhanded compliment about my decorating, hair, clothes, or shoes)." I feel like the Penguins of Madagascar sometimes, "Smile and wave, boys, smile and wave." At least I can smile about it all!

I got one of those after my last talk. I was wearing a headband with some sequins on it, and a lady came up to tell me I was so "brave" to wear it, because she thought it was a tiara at first. "Brave" is totally a diss in my book, what do you say to that, really?

There is a friend I have here who always says that about my clothes. IN fact she goes a step further and has said several times "I love your sense of style. I could never wear that I would look so silly in it."
So. . .I look silly? Nice.

PS I have never thought of you as "brave" for your fashion or decorating. Just stylish, beautiful and elegant.

PPS this is your cousin, Megan. Logged on as my preschool account. Sorry. Just noticed. That was really brave of me.

I've always thought you have great style. Those people are just jealous.
