Dear Paranoid Woman...


Dear paranoid woman(walking your wimpy dog),

When you see me walking my two children and their friend home, along with our dog. Please do not wait on the other side of the road for us to walk in front of you, for fear that my animal might attack you.
You will no doubt be forced to walk behind us at a very safe and annoying distance, while the snow loving, pile jumping, kids will continue to stop and go for the entire block. And when I ask you if you would "like to pass us", please say yes and I will safely tether my roudy kids and dog to the side, so that you may pass us and be on your merry way!
Although, I'm sure it was much more delightful for you to stay behind and watch my motherly patience being tested by your annoying remarks to the neighbors near by, about how you are afraid of my dog!! Come on lady!!! This is smiley we are talking about...he is even on a leash that is attached to a very annoyed parent. He will not be attacking you!
Thank you for finally crossing the street and giving me dirty looks. Next time I will follow behind you.

Poor Collette. And poor Smiley! There is something little about people who make those just audible snide comments.

toad smiley didn't leave her a treat. That might .of. softened. her up!

Ha ha! Usually the people who make those audible snide comments are the ones in life who are willing to complain and let the world know they're unhappy, but unwilling to put forth any action to make their situation better.
Or...she didn't have anything better to do that morning, so you were her entertainment. :)

O for the silly people who can find nothing better to do in life. I have found and wonderful form of fix for these kind of people..... Smile and be extremely sweet and polite. The oozing sweetness and beauty of your smile is enough for them to immediatley redirect themselves as they have becoming extremly annoyed by someone who can be so happy in life!
