What'd They Say?
I love this caption. I think it's hilarious! If you think about it after you read it and said, 'what?' then it's kind of an oxymoron statement. Vomit is gross but bees only spit out honey so that's a pretty sweet compliment.
Have you ever had someone say something to you and you're not sure if what they said to you was good or bad? A compliment or a slam? For example, ''Those jeans make you look slimmer.'' Well, do I look good or do they think I'm fat is what you might think later. I think women have a gift or downfall of reading in too much to what other people say. Don't get offended ladies, it's just my honest opinion because I've done it too. We can overthink a statement and twist it into something never intended.
All I'm trying to say is don't let yourself get caught up in semantics and dwelling on it till it changes form. If your first instinct is that a statement is good then take it as such.

Well, all I can say is that those pants make you look slimmer! :-) Just a little jealousy on my part! Seriously, that's a great way to think about things, Angie. Thanks for the word of encouragement!
ReplyDeleteToo true and great advice. I usually do the opposite. I second guess how people take my comments. I mean them nicely, but is that how they came across?
