Because I don’t feel like writing…

Here’s my Rosie with the devil cat that she somehow gets along with really well…

At ang pinakamatinding mang-asar, siya ang pinakapikon sa lahat.

Yes, my first Tagalog blog title.  I just thought it was fitting.  I designed and printed out this sign (half legal size paper) that said “I’ll just remember you’re stupid so I don’t try to strangle you.” and then I posted it on my craft room door.  Note that I didn’t name names.  So really, batu-bato sa langit.

So DH knocks and asks me, “So you’ll just remember I’m stupid so you don’t strangle me, huh?”  And I said it wasn’t addressed to him.  So he asked who it was addressed to.  And I said, anyone who goes by that door.  He didn’t like that.  He said, there are only 4 people living here, if people should see that, what else would they think?  And I said, why should anyone be offended by it if they don’t think they’re stupid?  He told me to ask Mom what she thinks about it the next time she comes by.  I think she’d refuse to get into it, personally.  And anyway, really, why should anyone be offended by it unless they think I’m referring to them?  And if they think I’m referring to them, then, that would only mean one thing…they admit they’re stupid.  I don’t see the big deal.  I didn’t name names, I didn’t tell him it’s for your kids.

And like I told him in an email I sent after that little tiff, any note or sign I’d posted in the past, nasty or nice, never got paid attention to.  In fact, most of those, I found in the trash after a day.  So…why should he worry about his kids reading it and getting offended?  Knowing them, if they’d read it and didn’t like it, it wouldn’t be there anymore.  But let’s face it, they don’t pay attention to me or anything I do.  Why would they start now?  Plus it’s not like they pass by my door everyday.  They might get a glimpse of it, but I doubt any of them would actually stand in front of my door and read everything that’s there.  They just don’t have the time for that.

Personally I think he’s worrying about nothing.  He thinks I want to stir things up…that’s actually what he said, “stir things up”…oh, please…if I were so good at it, how come no one’s confronted me about anything yet?  I don’t stir things up.  I make signs.  I don’t say it out loud.  That way people have the choice of whether or not they want to read it.  If they do, hey, it was their choice to do so.  If they don’t, no harm done.  I don’t see what the big deal is.

I wonder how he’ll react to my new shirts.  I had 3 shirts done.  I have the first one now.  In front it says “Cinderella’s stepmom was a FINE woman…” and in the back it says “Cinderella was just a selfish spoiled brat”.  Is he going to find fault with that too?  Is he going to assume that Cinderella is someone in this house?  Well, he might be right, but really, I just think the Grimm brothers have something against stepmoms. 

My second shirt says “Oh, PLEASE, go to heaven…” in front and “I don’t want to SEE YOU IN HELL when I get there” in the back.  That might offend some people but hey, I’m telling them to go to heaven.  What’s wrong with that? 

My third shirt, I just had made today, in honor of the little tiff that we just had.  The front says the same thing the sign says…”I’ll just remember YOU’RE STUPID so I don’t strangle you.”  In the back I added, “If the other side of this shirt offends you, it’s time you thought about why it does.”  Really.  My own English version of “batu-bato sa langit…”

He thinks nothing of being a smartass and ranting and just being nasty himself but for some reason others can’t be even just a bit nasty.  Go figure.  Americans and their freedom of speech.  Yeah, right!
