I get it

Filed under: Friends

I was at a neighbor’s house the other day. I felt so violated, held captive and exhausted when I left. It all started when I asked which of her children (aged 11 and 15) looks more like which parent. Her ex is Thai and she’s black . I mention this fact only b/c she is so open about this and cooks Thai food for us, etc.
Because she is divorced, I had never met her ex. Why did I ask??? She’s like, “you’ve never seen so and so?” “well, let me show you a picture”. She pulls out one photo album and I look at it very interested.

Can you believe she made me sit there and look at 6 more albums???? I was sooooo OVER it! She didn’t take a hint after I was yawning, the baby was antsy, etc. I think this is so rude. I get it…you have friends and your kids were once adorable babies.

Why do people think you want to relive their lives through every photo they ever took?

  4. Haha! I used to do that but only if people asked. Now that I don’t print out picutres anymore I just sent folks a link to my online album and they can look at their leisure.
