Chip Off the Old Bitch

Fidel was home with Moggie and me all week because of his excruciating pain from his dental surgery on Wednesday. On Wednesday we went to sushi for lunch, on Thursday we did Artuzzi's with Moggie and Costco and Toys R Us after that, and finally on Friday we did Buckhead Pizza with Moggie. While we were in Toys R Us on Thursday, there was some guy in business clothes with a Bluetooth thing clipped on his ear. You could tell he was extremely agitated by the way he was stomping around looking down the aisles. He had this big scowl on his face and as I got near him he yells out, "Does anyone work here" and I ignored him because I wasn't sure if he was speaking to me and if he was speaking to me in that tone he was making a mistake in doing that since I don't take any shit from self-important pricks or anyone else. He kept eye contact with me and yelled it again, that time I was sure he was indeed speaking to me. Since I was holding hands with my 4-year old angel from heaven and I didn't want to teach her how to say "Who the fuck are you talking to that way?", I just rolled my eyes at him and said "Ugh, I don't know" as I walked past. I mean really, who thinks it's ok to show your ass like that when all you have to do is walk up front and find someone. If he was that pressed on time he should have planned his day out a little better. He also needs to watch his attitude with random moms walking around Toys R Us. He either saw enough of me to figure out he didn't want to tangle, or more likely, he saw Fidel a few steps behind me and positively knew he didn't want any of him. Fidel had a gun pulled on him in our front yard years ago and took the gun from the guy who pulled it and made him cry like a girl in front of the neighbors.

Anyway, on Friday when we were in Buckhead Pizza, a waiter kicked Moggie's chair and she popped off, "HEY, you KICKED MY CHAIR". She actually yelled that at him twice. I had to laugh at her, because the guy really did bump her chair and didn't say excuse me. That kid is a little bitch just like her sweet old Mom.

Two things:

I was going to say that it was ok to teach Moggie how to say "Who the fuck are you talking to that way?" because you will be teaching her how to take care of herself and not be "pushed" around but obviously she's doing alright on her own.

And you HAVE to give more details on the story involving Fidel, the front yard and a man with a gun.

Are you sure it was a man? Because that sounds an awful lot like my mother in law.

And is it wrong that I know think Fidel is totally sexy?

Fidel is a sexy beast!

so tired- our old neighborhood was so cute but it began to go downhill really fast. The young families started a mass exodus and it wasn't a neighborhood where you knew your neighbors any more. This guy in a Nissan was a thug-wannabe or something and he and Fidel had words over something so while the guy was in his car, he and Fidel were mouthing off in our driveway. Fidel is a big guy, was a cop for years plus he rides a Harley and I guess to some people that's a little intimidating. The guy felt the need to open up his console and show Fidel his pistol so Fidel grabbed it from him and scared the shit out of the guy. I was blissfully unaware of all of this but our next door neighbors were witnesses to it. I was waiting to get shot up while I was in my bed but nothing else ever happened. We moved out of that neighborhood within 6 months of that, I think.

Wow. I am remembering that seen in Goodfellas when Henry Hill walks across the street from Karen's parents house and pistol whips the cocky guy showing off his car.

My Dad was a city (major metropolitan area) policeman for 42 years. So we grew up thinking policemen were heroes and they could do anything....
