A little something about me

Day 10.1

Repetitive. Sympathy. The sun shining on my back; my hair glowing. Singing songs in the car. Cake. Fizzy water. Family time.

After a brief visit to Morrisons I was lucky enough to hear the most fantastic conversation. In fact, one of the most irritating, for a girl anyway, conversations on Earth.You've guessed it. It's old faithful. Rearing it's ugly head yet again to spark a joyous chat between man and woman. "Are you in a mood?"

First off, if you think she is, you're probably right. Maybe leave her alone, try and make her smile. Perhaps you could even get your head around the fact that it could have been you that put her in a mood? Or maybe, just maybe, she actually isn't in a mood and is just feeling quiet, thoughtful, taking a step inside so she can work things out in her head? Clearly these men know nothing...

Asking a girl if she's in a mood is like asking if you can dropkick a thousand puppies in an RSPCA centre. It doesn't go down particularly well. Ever. Fact. Learn from this manthings. It is important for your survival. If you're fed up of her being 'in a mood'- go away! Or simply ask if she wants to talk, if she says no, bites your head off and gets even grumpier you have still done well. At the time we won't make you feel like we have appreciated it but we will have done.

Her response was the best though. He asked whether she was in a mood and she simply responded, "No, I'm not, I wasn't but now I am. Stop asking or it will be the last thing you do." I do love a fiery woman. I smiled as I walked away from them, wondering whether I react the same. I definitely do. Usually a lot worse. I don't care. You aggravate me, I will be sure you realise it.

Over and over this conversation will have been played out in relationships each probably not ending too well. Note to man people: If you think asking whether we are in a mood will make us kick off, try asking if we are on our periods. I wish you all the luck in the world my friend.
