man, interrupted

Men behaving like little boys: In high school, it was cute. In college, it was a project. In grad school, it warranted a verbally acrobatic fuck-you-very-much. Beyond all those years of school (which, theoretically, make one smarter), there are no snappy retorts left, and it's only a sense of charity that makes me hit 'reply' at all. Dang. Btw, Dan blogs his Top 5 breakup songs, and here are mine (this is not an all-time list, it's off the top of my head), after which you can read a funny Top 5 list I wrote a long, long time ago:

5. Come to My Window, Melissa Etheridge
4. Praying for Daylight, Rascal Flatts
3. Don't Turn Around, Ace of Base
2. Sin Wagon, Dixie Chicks
1. How Do You Like Me Now?!, Toby Keith


QOD: Walk in Mrs. Rosa Parks' shoes to answer this letter from a student:

Dear Mrs. Parks,

I do not want to spend my summer vacation with my elderly grandmother. She is very old and she talks a LOT. How can I convince my mom to take me to Disneyland instead?

Sincerely,

Harry

Their replies left me aghast. Post 'em later ...

temper tandtrums? rolling on the ground, crying and pounding the ground with my hands and feet?
you may have smiled a bit, but do that in your boss' office, either you'll get the raise or fired.
