stupid meter reader

oh how I have come to love the word stupid once so forbidden in my home

yes it is true I was one of those obnoxious moms who did not like it used around the littles or by the littles

stupid is how you feel when you find yourself running after the meter reader who sees you, has not begun to write, but hears you screaming “please, no”

stupid is how it looks when your purse , 4 juicy containers of strawberries and all their contents and your legs and arms go flying here and there when you hit a patch of ice- on the longest road in Canada

stupid is the way you say “have a great day” drenched in sarcasm, as you pick yourself up from the cute yard sale, in response to the instant yellow ticket he slaps on your windshield anyway.

stupid was once a swear word around here- but now we embrace it along with its uglier more vulgar sisters. But I am fanatical about some other swear words and can’t seem to tolerate them click here for my weird hang up

  1. ggrrrrrr. I have to believe at least some meter officers are decent folk and have no choice and are desperate for a job, because I have witnessed way too many who live to give people the middle finger as they slap on that ticket with that wicked evil grin on their nasty faces.

    It is so hard to rise above and not hurl nastier expletives…good for you!

    • i actually thought I sounded like a bit of an idiot with the “have a great day”
      i should have pulled out the single mom card…..

      • there is all kinds of stupid moments that happen in my life daily…between the kids and me and a goofy step-dad…stupid happens often!

        BTW I had a meter officer ticket me even after I told him I was coming out to put money in the meter!! STUPID!!
