25June | a moment of pure mean

 

Except maybe not, because I really am quite concerned with the state of children's health these days. America is totally obese.

Anyway, I'm at Panera because I needed to make a bunch of phone calls about housing in Portland and my cell phone has little to no reception in my entire neighborhood, and my landline makes a horrible buzzing sound in the background. Yeah, no kidding. I've been here for about two hours, and about 20 minutes ago a mother and her three kids sat down near me. I didn't really take notice until I heard:

"Mom? Mom!! Can I have the top off your bread bowl?"
"No!"

Then I looked and saw a rather fat little boy putting the top back on his mother's bread bowl. I looked further and saw two older, also fat girls sitting at a table next to his. Then the mother walked over and I saw that she was fat as well.

The little boy had a sandwich and chips, and the girls and mom all had soup in bread bowls.

Check out the nutrition information for one of those bowls. Then factor in that it was filled with soup. Granted I don't know what kind of soup, but it could have been a cream-based soup. Just saying.

I know that judging overweight people is mean. I've been on the other end. But I wasn't so much judging their weight... I suppose I was judging their mother's poor choices in what they should or shouldn't be eating. These kids weren't just chubby - they were fat. I might even say they were medically obese. They shouldn't be downing sandwich melts, potato chips, soup in bread bowls. It simply is not healthy, and although the mother was overweight as well, she should know better.

... What's that? You're still waiting for that moment of pure mean?

Oh, okay. Here it is:

me: they all have fat voices
me: you know what i mean
me: i KNOW you know what i mean.
tati: haha yes
tati: i do
me: i wonder if i used to have one
me: do you think my voice changed when i lost weight?
me: that would be so trippy
tati: haha
tati: i didn't notice
me: whew

OMG... I just realized... if my voice DIDN'T change... does that mean i STILL have a fat voice? please, tell me no!!

Slap me, I know, I know! Just slap me.
