"Those People" .... part 1

You know who I'm talking about, right?  Awe come on.  Admit it.  You know "those people".  They are the people that don't wear clothes to our standards.  They are the people that don't conduct themselves in a manner which we find appropriate.  They are the people that might be a little dirtier than we like.  They are the people that shop at the first of the month.  They are the people who don't have a house that we deem as appropriate.  They are the people who's yard needs some work.  They are the people that drive those kinds of cars.

They are the people we judge.  Everyone has done it!  Admit it!  You know that haggard looking mom at the store with five kids.  She is disheveled.  Looking worn.  The kids are screaming and hanging from the shelves.  You look at your kids and say "Behave.  We are not those people."  When we enter our Walmart at the beginning of the month, well, it is filled with "those people".  The fact of the matter is .... we are all "those people".  There is always someone out there looking down on all of us.

Two years ago, my daughter was getting ready for school.  I noticed something in her hair.  After investigation, it was lice.  OH MY GOD!  WE ARE NOT THOSE PEOPLE!  Embarrassed.  Head held low.  What would others think?  You know this kind of thing only happens to "those people", right.  Well, we had officially become "those people".  Even after being officially sworn in .. we still passed judgement on others.

Seriously, you can't make your kids behave?  Dude, you do know your car is a piece of crap?   Can you believe the way they dress?  Did you see those shoes? Honestly, this could go on and on.  Everyone does it.  We all have preconceived notions of who things happen to.  They always happen to "those people".  Never people like us.

We became very aware this past week that we are in fact "Those People"!

Sitting in my living room one night watching tv and folding clothes.  Weird bug.  Killed it.  Dead.  Moving on.  Next night, sitting in my living room watching tv and folding clothes.  Yes, I do a lot of laundry!  Weird bug.  Killed it.  Dead.  Moving on.  I hate sitting on the couch.  We had fleas due to our dog and my hubby treated every thing.  Darn it!  Allergic reaction to the chemicals on my legs and arms.  But it's op all the furniture.  Nice reddish rash.  Itches.  Annoying.  Few days later, laying on the couch reading.  Weird bug.  Don't kill it.  Yell for hubby.  Find it weird that this is the third time I've seen this exact type of bug while lounging on the couch.  Runs in.  Catches it.  Found its "walk" weird.  Did a quick internet search.  OMG!  WE ARE THOSE PEOPLE!


BED BUG!
