THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATER
.Please welcome out guest today, the naked and exhibitionist Easy
.
Thank you very much Doggy and Leo for having me as a guest blogger. I know, it’s a great honor and I hope to meet the high requirements of your famous blog.
Let me say something about TOLERANCE & EMPATHY. Words often used in theory but rarely in practice. So I will share a story about them with you:
.
My mom went to a large supermarket to buy some babyfood for me. We use this sometimes for preparing cookies or cheese cakes for me or if I have a bad tummy. They had a lot of babyfood there, but most of them are with additional sugar or salt. My mom asked the salesperson for sugar- and salt-free food, she said it’s for a dog but salt or sugar isn’t good.
.
Next to my mom was a woman with two kids and an older woman, maybe her mother. This woman turned, looked daggers at my mom and said: Babyfood for a cur? Do you have no clue about kids who are starving? You are a darned INSOLVENT person! Mom thought: How can she know this? Was it going around so fast? Where is the hidden camera? and said: I’m WHAT?! You are insolVent! said the woman. INSOLENT! prompted or echoed the older woman…
.
Ahhh! Now the thingy got’s the right name… and mom answered: I don’t steal the babyfood from a baby’s mouth, I buy it. And surprise! – that’s a supermarket here! So please mind your own business and let other people be.
.
Is it me or there’s something hanging from your nose?
While they had this dispute the older child (approx.8-9) of her was hanging on the shopping cart, the other younger one, who was sitting in the cart was probably hungry, because it tried to eat itself special things that hanged from his nose. While the mother of those kids was busy with insulting my mom, the older woman slapped the “nose-miner” on his hand and the other child who did NOTHING got a clip round the ear too. The bogey-digga starts screaming like an air raid siren, the other one was staring concerned. WOW! Either this woman is the perfect Dem, who gives the same to all or I have no clue about educational science…
.
Then the babyfood-activist scolded to my mom: Listen, all my kids got this regular babyfood and they weren’t sick or have any damage (REALLY?) and this food shouldn’t be good enough for your darned cur? I’ll bet you have no kids, you are rotten, selfish (WHY? the food wasn’t for mom) and a B… (rhyme with witch)
.
An adequate reaction for this behavior would be to give this QUEEN OF TOLERANCE an ass kick or a knuckle sandwich – but my mom has 3 rules for acting in public.
.
. don’t look stupid
. don’t talk stupid
. don’t mess with stupids
.
So, for this she showed the hag where the bird has his nest and walked away. She bought a probiotic salt- and sugarfree babyfood for me, purchased her stuff and left the supermarket. There the evil was waiting for her – in guise of the Babyfood-Mafia , who was lurked for mom on the smokers-point near the exit.
.
The she-devil started part two of her sermon but now the words were completely under the bottom-line. Now she called mom a … woman who gets money for special services, and a special bodypart - in front of their kids! Mrs. Montessori would die again with shame! Mom said to her, it seems that poor babyfood wouldn’t be the only problem what her kids have to bear and laughed.
.
Spit like acid
The proof that mom’s theory is true followed immediately, because one of the kids tried to spit on my mom – but he was miles away from her. If his mom would have given him proper babyfood without sugar, which is bad for the eyes, he would be more successful. What should I say? Some people are INSOLENT and INSOLVENT – at least cerebral.
.
I’ve learned something: be TOLERANT even if they spit on you, even if you are reduced to a bodypart or suspected to take money for something which you never got. Feel EMPATHY if you are buying babyfood for dogs while watching others who have to eat itself. Be also TOLERANT if they give you names – WTH is in a name? Be tolerant and don’t judge or score about people – just POST ABOUT IT. IN PUBLIC. Am I tolerant or what?
.
Here is the soundtrack : SHEB WOOLEY – THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATER – It’s not a dog eat dog world – it’s a people eat BOGEY people world. Or could it be a case of “you are what you eat” – who knows?
.
I like the rules of stupid.. very smart. Thanks for the morning chuckle and the gross out– nice pic(smile)
That lady deserved a good dose of the middle finger–
Thanks – think this lady needs two middle fingers
)
I feel sorry for the kids, having to grow up with that sort of example!
Me too, Clowie – but I feel contempt for their mother&grandmother. Hope this kids are smart enough to search for a better role model.
Wow some people are just evil! Your poor mum Easy, but sounds like she knows how to deal with stupid!!
That’s true Misaki, but sometimes the world is really complicated and the evil is waiting for you – even at the babyfood-department.
Your mum is a very smart woman – with loads of common sense. Not personal into babies .. that are that small they eat baby food – like them .. from 1,5 year upwards – until 5. So funny .. and brilliant.
Thanks … maybe hat’s the reason here too, that we aren’t personal with babies
)
Easy your Mom is a most tolerant lady to endure those nasty ignorant wenches (!) at the grocery store. It’s none of their business WHAT your Mom wanted to buy the baby food for – PERIOD! For them to resort to verbal assault on her for such a silly reason (while their kids act like heathens….LOL) says much about SOME of the people in your village!!!! I’ll never think of that old song again (Purple People Eater) without remembering this post….tee hee
Hugs, Pam (and Sam)
Some people are from another planet… maybe from the same as the one-horned, one-eyed flying purple people eater?
THANKS Leo&Doggy for inviting me and pimping up my post – pictures can say more than words – BOL. Thanks to Miss Peach too – she is great, please give her a kiss or a pad on the shoulder ;o)
Three rules for avoiding stupids are brilliant. They seem harder to ignore some days.
Thanks ;o) …that’s true!
Good golly, how can the woman behave like that around her children (or anywhere, for that matter). Insolvent indeed. Just goes to show how well education has helped her. Great guest post Easy.
THANKS
) I think it’s a no go to slap children and such a vocabular would need a ” vocab building project”
Seeing one of your pictures I am now off my lunch LOL
…humans are weird… no dog or kitty would look so ;o)
OMG, what tortures has your mom to suffer for your food! She is a heroine! I’ll try to apply her rules about stupidity – they are fantastic! I hope I’m not too stupid to them!
I think the rules aren’t bad – but sometimes it’s hard to follow the rules
)
Rule No. 4: Offer stupids cheesecake!
haaaaaaahaaaaa – that’s great – but served via throwing ;o)
Gah! The horrors of shopping for baby food!
What an insolvent woman, I can’t believe she’d say all that in front of her kids. And only for baby food!
maybe babyfood is now negotiable or they use it as strategic material?
You’re an absolute public service announcement. Thanks! Judgmental: boggles my mind! xoM
Sometimes even babyfood can be dangerous and has after- our side effects ;o)
This sounds like a person who is very crazy. Very. I would like to bark at her. I don’t usually bark, but I can do a scary one if I really feel like it. I don’t think she or her children will be spitting and using mean names then…
It’s better to use the time for playing or stealing food, than to waste your voice to this people. Imagine some one of them would spit on your wonderful blue coat – scandalous!
Those poor kids, that’s crazy!
I hope this behavior isn’t “business as usual” in the family of this kids. To slap kids and to use this bad words in front of kids is just a no-go.
Scary is as scary does. Deeply worrying for those kids. Hope at least that the baby food did good for your seven stomachs.
I will enjoy the babyfood with honoring my mom – she risked her life and her dignity for me ;o)… and the babyfood of course.
Sounds like the type of person who sits on councils coming up with rules for your own good.
that’s how prohibition started in the US.
Jackasses.
Yeah! Maybe I could be the “Al Capone” of babyfood-smuggling ;o)
Easy, you are taking over the web today! Also, I shouldn’t have been eating lunch when I read this post…
That could be – specially if you had babyfood for lunch ;o)
Blimey, you sure got some nutters over there..BOL your poor Mom, she’s too bloody soft but yes we must keep our dignity, not lower ourselves to their standards. I just threw me lunch in the bin! LOL
Mollie and Alfie
Sometimes it’s hard to be a “Lady”. But I think this kids have enough to bear with their mom – so it’s better to forget this without thinking of revenge….
People like that drive me crazy.
Me too but I think this kids have heard enough bad things from their mom so I waived to continue this “babyfood-war” ;o)
Holy crap! That would have freaked me out. I would have written about it, too. Good night Irene.
I think it’s better than to fight with this woman ;o) I wish they would read this – but next time I ask my enemies for their e-mailadress first ;o)
Your Mom has great rules Easy. I resolve to repeat to self several times daily.
But it’s hard to follow this rules under special circumstnces like this ;o)
We are feeling so badly for your Mummy now Easy, what an unpleasant experience for her. She is smart though, not messing with stupids, it’s the very best way to avoid an even bigger problem. So very important question…. what special treat did she make you with the baby food?
I’ve got cookies made with this babyfood ;o) It wasn’t only the taste of calf or rice – it was the taste of victory what they made so yummy ;o)
That is almost as epic as some of my trips to the market!
I hope this two women haven’t moved to your place now ;o)
One more “stupid” rule Easy…Remember that you can’t fix stupid!
hahah no, Gizmo – that’s impossible …even with instant glue ;o)
