Me Bossy?

Well maybe a little bossy??but bossy pants? Yes that would be me, but in a good way. My way!! Honestly I think it may be genetic, and if it's not??that is OK also. I have tried to curb it for years, and then things fall apart. Bossy pants have served me well. You know in the south we can give orders with a smile, and thank you SOOOOOooooo much without blinking an eye!! That's it, bossy is environmental!!! It also could be my birth order, number one child comes with expectations!!! All this back history of my Mary Poppins personality leads me to the book I'm reading,
Bossypants by Tina Fey. The world feels better when you know there are others out there, that may also have this wonderful character!!!
Tina Fey, is much younger than myself, yet her story seems so familiar. Laughing and highlighting every other sentence, has helped lift me from the dreaded January doldrums. I think bossy and funny may be cousins. When she tells of breaking up with a boy on her seventeenth birthday because he gave her a box of popcorn and a used battery tester, the lights went on in my brain. Yes Tina, I broke up with a boy because he gave me Avon for Christmas and chewed too much Juicy Fruit gum!!!! that's not bossy, that's good judgment. I too agree that gay people do not try and convert us, it is those Jehovah witness bunch. Again, I'm with you sister, I do not like to smell grimness on people, or embrace people in cults!! You talk about having one long white pubic hair, I have not looked "down under" in years, but you got me to thinking. We cannot worry about the "shit nuggets" Shit happens, and we learn to let go!!
You have written a jewel, made me howl, and reminded me of so many stories of bossy-ness, that have shaped me. Love,love,love this book, READ IT!!! OMG Iam bossy!!!
