Just be yourself……….
June 23, 2008
Oh really? You sure about that?
Because frankly, I’m not all that likable.
I swear.

Um….. you know that shushhhhhhing thing that you do? Yeah, the one you use on your 4-year old child? Well (and I’m just speaking for myself here) it’s a little annoying. Mostly because I’m neither 4, nor your child.
I recommend that all mothers should practice talking with other grownups, ESPECIALLY before inviting grownups over to their home. In my world (grown-up world) adults actually let each other finish their sentences, or at least boldly talk over one another until one person shuts-up.
You just don’t get to say ‘Shushhhh.’
Saying shushhhhh to people makes them hate you.
But by all means, JUST BE YOURSELF!

Shushing grownups is rude, unless you are a theater usher. If the Original Shusher herein were to get such a job, then they could shush anyone who has noisy candy wrappers or a cell phone that beeps during the show, and thus vent their otherwise inappropriate shushing needs that way.
