Mental health therapy or substance abuse therapy? Maybe a co-occurring disorder.
Friday OT #1 - Are Those Real?
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
@Angie my son has a pretty nice mowhawk (though now it's getting too long and has started looking like a sloppy comb-over) and people ask about it all the time. One day at daycare pickup the lady asked if I style his hair like that. Lol no. I must be doing better than I thought throwing myself together in the morning if I look like I have the time to style my infant's hair as well

Its not something like this is it?
Living in Minnesota and having grown up in Iowa, I've been asked way too many times if my dad was a farmer.
No, my dad was a pharmacist but he grew up on a farm... in Minnesota.
Nothing against farmers. I like farmers, but the generalizations of Iowa are dumb.

YES! That's always what I found so ridiculous - like my 11-month-old was going to sit still for two hours for a perm.
I get annoyed when people ask me "did you play basketball?" Or that thing that guys do where they subtly* walk past me, just to see if they're taller than me.
(*it's not subtle at all, btw)
Probably the silliest thing was when a client asked me if I'd ever hit my head when walking through the door. In fairness, I was wearing heels that day, but still, I've never come close to doing that.

Kid hair is funny. My son was, for all intents and purposes, a baldy for the first year of his life. Really thin hair up until he was almost 3. Now he's got a thick unruly mop.
Daughter came out with black hair, then the top fell out and very fine blonde hair has replaced it. She's still got the ring of black hair around the sides and back. Looked like Mr. Burns, but lately has taken a more Holgorsen appearance.
I hate hearing people that have to interrupt other people while they are talking. It's easily the biggest pet peeve of mine that is such a common occurrence. I was always taught that if you interrupt someone, that either means you aren't paying attention to the person talking, you're being a disrespectful prick, you think whatever you have to say is more important, or all of the above.
That irritates my sister as well. She's 6'2", never cared for basketball or volleyball.
I'm 6'7 and I don't even want to think about how many times I've been told "Wow, you're tall" or asked if I played basketball. Telling someone they're tall is kind of a conversation killer. Like, what am I supposed to do with that other than acknowledge that you're right?
DH took a picture the other day because it still sticks up in the front but lays down in the back. He called it party in the front, business at the back.
Great posts, but we are all waiting for Angie to answer the question.
maybe they were friends with @mctallerton and knew his propensity for running into things at his height......
Making generalizations about people in certain states is fun, though. It's an easy thing to do. I just assume everyone in Vermont produces their own maple syrup brand for a living. And everyone in Idaho is a potato farmer. And everyone in Missouri is a toothless meth head.
Pretty sure we will all be thinking about Angie's boobs the rest of the day.
