I like this thread! I get to tell everyone that my NM is plain ol' stupid--and laugh out loud!!!!
My NM is so stupid: All through my childhood she called me dumb or slow and yelled at me if I didn't understand something. She pounded it into my head over and over again how to do things "right" and how I was always doing them wrong, and I mean always. So why is it that during her visit she couldn't follow simple instructions like not leaving her pills on the floor because the baby might get to them, or making sure that she didn't leave the carving knife on the kitchen table while the baby was sitting right next to it, or reading the simple instructions I left her on how to turn on the T.V. that even a 6 year old could understand, "Red button means ON" and "Black button means OFF." It's not her age either, she's always been like this.
So why didn't I go off on HER yelling and screaming in HER face, "hey you dummy, don't you get anything???...why are so so damn slow???....you're doing in all wrong.....you're so fu#$!$% stupid!!!!!!"
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I just want to scream. Or better yet, vomit.
