It is very interesting.. when some ppl already know that they are actually in the wrong truthfully.. or that they are the one doing someone else an injustice in truth.. but wouldn’t admit to it…. even if their life depended on it. They would instead .. have to go around.. justifying to themselves.. by telling others… very quickly and dramatically…. about wat had happened to them.. and wat injusticed was done to them. .. when in actual fact .. no one give a damn shit about them or their life… or wat they do.
This is an example of wat i’m talking about.. heheheheh!! Customer : I met so and so .. at my store. It came in for something.
Me : Uh-huh
Customer : So and so.. tot i knew IT quit and i guess so and so wanted to find out wat you had said about IT… to me.
Me : Uh-huh
Customer : Oh God ! So and so talked non-stopped, telling me ITS life stories and then complaining that you had IT life on the internet. And i had nothing to tell IT .. coz’ you didn’t say anything. And i was thinking.. if IT had read it on the internet.. that means IT knows right..??? it’s not like you were sneaky or anything.. duh..!!!
Me : LOL… Uh-huh.
Customer : Oh God! I know so and so from school and as if I didn’t know “IT” and its kind.
Me : LOL. Oh well… we really didn’t see a need to justify anything to anyone.
Customer : Yes and I knew it that IT just wouldn’t be here for long.
Me : LOL .. and you didn’t tell me about it…???!!?? “rolling my eyes”
Customer : I tot ppl might change.
Me : LOL .. Uhhhh.. obviously not.
Customer : I should have known better.. it’s “IT” we are talking about. IT said IT wasn’t gonna step into your store anymore and that you used to be best friends. Well .. save you the effort from kicking it outta the store .. i guess… LOL.
Me: LOL .. LOL .. yer funny.. Oh well… and to set the record straight … IT isn’t my best friend nor friend. IT was a customer .. an aquaintance. If IT was a friend .. i would have invited IT to my new house right..??? And I didn’t… so how can IT be my good friend or friend..??? And friends don’t behave the way IT did. Obviously .. IT isn’t. And go ask IT .. if i ever call IT..???!!?? NEVER..!! LOL
Customer: I wish so and so don’t come to my store either. Boy .. IT talk my ear off everytime.
Me : One way to do it i guess.. LOL !! Ok.. ok.. sick joke.
Customer : I don’t know how to use the computer .. and I no computer too.. if not i will… LOL Anyway IT is not here anymore. Yer’ll be fine now. And i wouldn’t have known anything different had IT not come to tell me its life story.
Me : LOL. .. Yup.
Customer : All i know is that you did nothing wrong.. and you were absolutely the best to IT. As far as I am concern.
Me : I wouldn’t say best but we weren’t bad to IT nor demanded anything spectacular for IT to perform at work, so if IT wants to go and make ITself look politically right, its IT right .. right..???!!?? And i really have nothing to say about IT. Trust me.. not a thing..!! As far as I am concern… i am only too glad… that IT did wat IT did. I thank God everyday.Now.. this is wat i was musing about for a long time now :
I asked myself this… wat kinda role model will this person be to IT kid .. for IT had a kid with IT. Children pick after their parents.. like a magnet to the fridge. I asked myself this ….wat values do i want to impart to my child..??? One that is the way IT behaved..??? at work & socially..??? Would i avoid IT at all cost.. and treat IT like a plague..???!!?? for behaving the way IT did..???
As a mom.. i realised…. that i have such a huge responsibility… to teach and bring my child up the right way. It may not be the best… i may do things wrongly.. but for sure… from now on.. i am going to reflect everytime.. i say something or do something… and remember wat impact it will be on my child, wat do i want my child to become.. when she is a toddler……. a pre-teen .. a teenager… and an adult….. ??
This is wat i wish for my chloe, that she grows up .. to be gentle….. to be kind.. compassionate.. have integrity…. honest… responsible… all the good qualities .. anyone can think of.. have a great sense of humor… i want my child to be brave.. and not be afraid to speak her mind….. but not to hurt anyone.. and be able stand up to wat she believe in… someone that ppl around her would be blessed by knowing her.. and for ppl to be willing to come forward.. and lend a helping hand.. when she needs it.
Therefore…. i’m somewat.. awaken.. by wat IT was doing.. and the conversation above…. wat will i be teaching my child… if i went on .. and stooped as low as IT.. and bad-mouthed her ..??? I would eventually have an adult.. who is always unhappy.. and bad-mouthed everyone.. just because she is not getting her way. Do i want that..???? Do i want.. that my child… to be a little tyrant.. when she is a pre-teen..??? and must have her way…??? I sincerely hope not… therefore….. i am gonna be very careful.. from now on.. and think .. before i say .. or act upon anything.
And how can i achieve ….. bringing up my daughter to be a all the above..? with all the good values..and qualities ??? Everything begins.. with the way .. i behaved.. and act.. and relate to others..
Action speaks louder than words they say.
When i wrote wat i wrote in my blog.. it was not to hurt IT .. and i hardly said a damn thing..!! about IT. Plus I really don’t need to justify my blog to anyone or anything. But one thing for sure…. I’m only too happy .. that we found out wat IT was like before more damage is done… with ITs incessant need to gossip and tell us the life-stories of anyone or anything who walks into our establishment… I don’t want my child to be this way…. therefore I shall refrain from doing the things i don’t want my child to do .. from this day forth. AaaaaMen!
PS:- For the records, this conversation took place a long time ago.. and it trigger me to write it up… because i wanna constantly remind myself.. what kinda role model i wanna be for my daughter.
