No one in my close famiy used "baby" or "babe" as a pet name so I wasn't conditioned to it. I am 4'11" (150 cm) and 95 lbs and stopped getting the kid's menu when I was 18 and happened to go in and ask for our table while Dad was still helping Mom into her wheelchair. I'm now 36 and people still think I am a teenager- I've had waiters change the way they speak to me after I order a drink and show my card. Once when I was deciding whether or not to have wine the waitress was changing her speech so much when she got to me (Dad having been raised by his Southern grandparents and enough Aspie traits that the waiter doesn't get to go around the table but instead Dad essentially calls role from the oldest generation's females down to me, then the males by generation (my mother and aunts, and he and my uncle, order by convenient place at the table at leas... what was I talking about again? Oh yeah...) When the waitress came to me her voice and body language changed enough to throw me off kilter, so I ordered wine so that for the rest of the meal I could predict her interactions with me based on how she treated the others. The female friend I met online doesn't know my size, and I know she calls our mutual friends, people she knows are older than me, in the group private message list "Babe." And after over 2 years it still throws me for a moment Katthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976979121194183252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389161775179059058.post-417105270010684092014-11-07T06:21:58.841-08:002014-11-07T06:21:58.841-08:00Have a Good Day is have a good one :) ha ha or how...Have a Good Day is have a good one :) ha ha or how about when they say Bro. that is annoying tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389161775179059058.post-76035445721936489342014-11-02T20:55:41.475-08:002014-11-02T20:55:41.475-08:00This just completely made my night :)This just completely made my night :)VaderGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775060143801692919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389161775179059058.post-49159129582961091462014-11-02T20:46:49.266-08:002014-11-02T20:46:49.266-08:00Once as a kid I was with my grandma and I was bein...Once as a kid I was with my grandma and I was being hyper and she told me to "cool it" I brought her a cup of ice... She thought I was trying to be a "smart ass" (as if that could actually be smart) I honestly thought she wanted me to cool something off.... What better way to cool something than with ice, right? <br /><br />I also never understood how you can "kill time" or "waste electricity" Why do American football players "eat the clock"? (guess they are hungry) the saying "hide and watch" used to scare me because I didn't know why I needed to hide. I didn't understand how I was supposed to "hold my horses" They weigh more than I do, and besides I didn't have any to hold. I got called a "jackass" a few times... (I am most certainly NOT a donkey...) I could go on all night.... If it could possibly be taken for a literal meaning, I probably did at least at one point take it for it's literal meaning...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389161775179059058.post-39180247407626271812014-11-02T15:59:17.243-08:002014-11-02T15:59:17.243-08:00I take everything literally the first time, but th...I take everything literally the first time, but then I learn that it has a 2nd meaning that needs attributing to it and log it for the next time. I even use metaphors on occasion. However, I still have to think about it, it doesn't come naturally, and I have to understand why, where it comes from before I would consider using it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389161775179059058.post-82163782688193862442014-11-02T14:33:15.792-08:002014-11-02T14:33:15.792-08:00Jokes,I don't get jokes unless I tell them, an...Jokes,I don't get jokes unless I tell them, and then not all the time.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370613926881723830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389161775179059058.post-16249502749465867532014-11-02T06:34:13.303-08:002014-11-02T06:34:13.303-08:00People say "have a good one" I want to k...People say "have a good one" I want to know "a good one what?"-people that say "my friend" or "buddy" or "pal" when they do not know me personally is very annoying to meC.R.Phillipshttp://www.facebook.com/CRinPAnoreply@blogger.com
