Some people say the darnest things

Over the weekend the tween spilled the beans over what a teacher divulged in class.

" I used to have a friend "

She pauses to let it sink in for a bit

" ....this friend of mine wins loads of awesome stuff like handphones tablets etc etc via facebook all the time "

All right she's got their attention already. Some are listening with their mouths wide open.

" But I had to unfriend her "

 ok, I can't believeee she's telling them , this new world problem of hers

"......because she drove me crazy with her endless tags and requests "

The minions are feeling her at this point. She's got some sympathisers on her side.

She wraps up her impromptu lesson with

" So kids, in other words , please don't burden your friends with your obsession to snare online winnings "

Oh pulez. 

I took a deep breath and told the kiddo

" That's why birds of a feather flock together "

Tween gives me a slitty eyed look

" it takes one comper to understand another "

Nope,doesn't look like he understands. 

Now where's the Unfriend button ?I wanna be one less burden to those who find me an irritant. 

One unhappy comper

  

Well, I thought I'd seen them all...but this one managed to put smile on my face just the other day.

There I was attending an intimate prize giving ceremony, not that I clinched a big one....in fact, she and I both won the same item, which cost considerably lesser than the grand prize.

However, from the way she had dressed, I initially thought she was The One who had got it. Embroidered finery on her beautiful colour coordinated ensemble. Nice bag, nice shoes,etc etc. 
I was wrong.

Confuzesiaz says......

Gracious winners never keep a list of negativities,
They focus on the goal...
And if lost , they don't harp on it with poisonous vengeance.
