Overheard in the Stop-n-Stab

Woman, wearing a tee shirt from a marathon: You shouldn’t be drinking that.
Me, filling up a large soda cup with caffeine delivery liquid: Beg pardon?
WWATSFAM: That stuff. It’s just sugar water and chemicals.
Me: Wow, I didn’t realize we were related. Which side of the family are you from?
WWATSFAM: I don’t think we’re related…
Me: Oh, then are you someone I used to know? I’m sorry, but I honestly can’t remember your name.
WWATSFAM: I don’t think I know you, I just…
Me, putting a lid on my soda: So we’re not related, you don’t know me, and you’re correcting me on my diet? How about you take your opinion, shove it somewhere, and then try to run a 10K?

That’s me, always influencing people and making friends. Grumpy DaddyBear does not need advice from strangers.

    There is a certain class of woman who is not at all accustomed to hearing, well…much of anything, that contradicts her world view. A bit of enlightenment always does them good, whether they like it or not.

      She caught me in a weak moment, honestly. I normally won’t acknowledge someone like that. I was just tired out from taking the kids to the skating rink and driving across Louisville and back twice, and was in no mood.
