Senseless Sunday Sarcasm : Truth upholstery
I’ve never been accused of being normal.
In fact, I was a lot like this kid in school
Yes, I was always the one to ask the questions no one else would; not because I was so insightful…
I didn’t know any better.
As every one teacher put it
I was like Cordelia Chase, except I was never pretty or popular
Pretty popular kids can get away with it.
I would’ve been the kid who said this
And then I would’ve been hung for it.
In my young world, “Tact” is was the past tense for adhering upholstery with those tiny, round pointy objects
Maybe that’s why I get along with cats and dogs so well. They don’t have any tact, either, and they shred furniture.
Perhaps this is true:
It think, in retrospect, my brain was never capable of that elusive talent called, “Tact.”
I don’t want them to look forward to the trip.
Tact is nothing but a cosmetic lie; like a woman wearing a push-up bra, a corset, and a wig. There will be a time when the truth can no longer be hidden.
When asked this question, either my face will answer or I will answer it thus:
Where, you might ask, does this topic come from?
Blame the cat:
I suppose that might be true, if it weren’t for the fact that every cat in existence seems to have mastered the incredulous look before they’re weaned.
I might have found a tact cat:
I suppose there had to be at least one in this world.
Good morning to you, too!

Why is there so much blank space between the last cat pic and the end of the post/ comment section?
As for tact… I think I have some of it. Not all, but some.
Your comment about not wanting people to enjoy their journey to hell brought up a memory of a girl I knew. She called it “the sandwich technique”. She would complement someone, then slip in a negative/ hurtful comment, and close it with something nice again. Somehow, it worked on most people. They would be thrilled to hear what she said. It never worked on me. It was so blatant that I couldn’t believe others didn’t punch her in the face every day.

Sometimes there are blank spaces. I think the blank space monster invades my posts just to be annoying. 🙂

When I re-read your comment I remembered a management technique taught in the 1980’s: Start with a compliment and then talk about the “problem.” It might make a supervisor look kinder and gentler, but most people focus on the compliment and the reason for being in the office got shoved in the background.

I have no idea how this “jedi trick” works on so many…

From someone who is also not normal? I think normal might be over-rated. And I like to think I’ve lost my ‘Filter’. And Thst Cordelia so true. Cheers,H

What is normal anyway? It’s different in each culture. 🙂

Aha. I have developed a sensitive radar for what I call Fake Nice. It is not to be trusted. We have much to learn from cats.

I’ve learned to close the door when I have dinner (which I just did) or I have to eat with my plate above my head to prevent an invasion. 🙂
