Needy Stingers~

My favorite work pal and I were on shift tonight, and she told me about her 21 year old boyfriend texting another girl and not letting her see his phone.  She told me months earlier that her first boyfriend/love cheated on her through a sextcapade.  I put two and two together…and decided to voice not such a popular opinion…

"You know pal…once upon a time I had a wasp phobia.  I’d slap myself in the forehead every summer even when wasps weren’t there.  I KNew they would greet me each time I walked outside, and I made an annual ass out of myself for damn near ten years."

Ellie.  WTF?

"The house that I lived in had at least 3 wasps a week inside, and one time when I was slapping my own face, my father said I could stop that if I really wanted too, and that I looked retarded.  I told my Dad that I’d never been stung and was terrified of the prospect, then said oh yeah I really dig making an annual ass out of myself.  My Dad asked me why I didn’t recall being stung 5 times in the wrist running out to a shed when I was five.  I Then recalled him breaking a cig to pull out stingers….and I completely lost my Connection with wasps 🙂

They stopped occupying my home.  I hardly saw wasps at all after that. 

I told her about my Linda plan this night…it’s the first time I brought up my mother to her.  She offered to write my words for me then not reveal it was from me until the end so Linda would have to read the letter…then be hooked on me and my kids and ask to come back to my life then I’d be the one to say no thanks.  I told her no…but she helped give me the courage to put  my plan in action so I thanked her kindly. 

Then after work, she was with this texting bo and she texted me saying bo was texting the other.  I had told her at work if he texts on your date tonight, send me texts and you can act like my responses are hilarious and secretive…so she did! 

She will hopefully grasp the moral of my wasp story.  She is so young…and can’t doom every relationship to the guy screwing around on text.  Put phones away on dates, it’s rude to text even if you aren’t screwing around…but you can’t create it by going through his phone and constantly questioning…making him make you feel safe by qualifying needy behavior.  If she goes in any relationship with that attitude…she will keep getting stung…and I wuv her 🙁
