One way to drive me
One way to drive me nuts fast: do and say things just to get a reaction out of me. Okay, I guess driving me nuts is really the point with that one. But it works, and it pisses me off. Maybe it pisses me off *because* it works. Grrr. She does it all the time. Like, ALL the time. This morning we're standing in the kitchen. She's making breakfast, I'm putting together a lunch. We're chatting about nothing in particular, and she says, "God, I'm SO GLAD I got 'Hey Baby' in my head, because before I had 'Pop' in my head and I hate that song." I mean, honestly, was it necessary to say that? I KNOW the only reason she said it was to see what I would say. She has made it very clear in the past that she hates Pop and she hates Gone. Fine. I honestly don't give one hoot if someone likes or dislikes songs. Really, it has no bearing on my life whatsoever. But the fact that she says it to me with that challenging edge in her voice. That's what drives me nuts. She did it with Shrek last year, too. "It's an awesome movie. It totally bashes Disney." And there was that tone of voice that sounds just plain mean to me. I think the fact that it knocked on Disney is one of the reasons that made her love it SO MUCH (and not because she dislikes Disney, but because *I* love Disney), and her loving it is one of the reasons I will NEVER watch Shrek again. Aside from the fact that I didn't really like it. I laughed a LOT during it, and I definitely thought the "Disney bashing" was amusing, I just didn't come away feeling like I'd seen a good movie. Whatever. Ugh. Way to start off a morning, I tell ya.
