A little while ago I was preparing to give a training class to my fellow co-workers and was trying to think of cool ice-breakers. As I sat there thinkin’…my niece walks into my bedroom.
Conversation with my niece;
Me: What are 3 adjectives that describe me?
Her: Is this a test?
Me: No, I just want to know what 3 adjectives you would use for me.
Her: You’re not going to get mad?
Me: No, just tell me.
Her: You are smart….you are well maintained…
Me: What?....what do you mean ‘Well Maintained’?
Her: You dress nice and take showers…(me rolling my eyes)
Me: Okay and what’s the last one?
Her: Stuck Up….
Me: Whatever….can you please close the door, I’m working.
Conversation with a friend;
Me: Am I stuck up?
Her: Yes!
Me: (Stunned!) What? How am I stuck up, give me an example? Just because I don’t make friends like you at the local bar?
Her: You don’t have to make friends at a bar; you can make friends at places you like to go to like the library.
Me: Have you seen the ‘Creightons’ that hang out at the library?
Me (Realization dawning) Oh wait….I guess that would be a good example of me being stuck up.
