Did you See? Did You See?

Come on, every news station in the world saw it, did you?

Itzhak Perlman (remember, I've mentioned him before) played! It was beautiful.

Let's see, what else happened today...

Oh yeah.

Hey lady with the permanent scowl. Did you honestly think I purposely took my daughter to stand in line at the Pizza Hut Express JUST so that she could throw up while you waited for your bread sticks? Don't you think you acted a little irrationally treating me like I was the scum mother of the year?
Oh, and just in case you mistook that look I gave you after I came out of the bathroom from cleaning my poor little two-year old leper up, it was my "death to all ugly people" look. It was the look to replace how badly I wanted to make a scene by walking over to your table to say, "Hey, my week sucked. Do you see this bag? Do you see me holding shoes or clothes or makeup or perfume? NO! I dragged my daughter an hour from home to deal with the bank again about the repossession of our rental and thought I'd pick up some fire alarms since the ones in the house don't work (I tested them with some biscuits), mail off our Wii that chose to stop working when I desperately needed a babysitter and did I mention my husband is DEPLOYED while I'm looking for a new place to live?"

But I know people like you. You hardened person who either A., has never had children so you obviously know more about parenting than I do, or B., had them so stinking long ago you've forgotten how surprising it can be to have a giggling child suddenly throw up.

I forgive you.
You know why?
I'm feeling generous. I saw Itzhak Perlman play today.
