My olds often crack me up. This time it was Dad’s turn. We were in the car the other day when I commented on how the latest number one song in the pop charts was a shocker and how I couldn’t understand how there was a large enough amount of people to like it enough for it to go to number 1.
He said, “Yeah, I know what you mean. Everyone seems to really be in to that group the Cat People. Their music is bloody terrible.” To which I replied, “Cat People? Can’t say I’ve heard of them.” I thought to myself, how is it possible that my 62 year old father knows a band I’ve never heard of that isn’t a country and western group from the back waters of the black stump! Then it twigged. “You don’t mean The Pussy Cat Dolls do you?” “Oh yeah, that’s them,” he said, “bloody terrible music.” Bloody terrible memory mores the point!

Funny stuff there Sami, however you need to get used to it for a while. My Dad is 85 and Mom is still 40 and holding. Don’t think she can hold on to that too much longer but it makes her feel good anyway. Got to love a woman that doesn’t do the math! Never asked her how long she thinks 12 inches is though.
Some things you just don’t want to know!
On the up side you still have your parents around which is a good thing. On the down side you maybe getting into a better shape but, you aren’t getting any younger either.
I guess my point is we as bloggers need content but not necessarily at the expense of our parents. What comes around goes around. We reap the seeds that we sow.
You are in your 30′s now and if you decide to have kids of your own then they will be 30 years younger then you. Being a blogger they will probably do that too. And make fun of their olds mainly you for the whole world to see. Not quite as funny now is it?
I’m not trying to be your conscience by any means but, just give you something to think about before your next post. As funny as family can be if you doesn’t make them look good then it should be off limits.
Work with me here sister! So far your blog isn’t making you any money that I can see so, is it really worth hurting or even losing your family over? Not to mention sowing bad seeds for yourself.
I know this won’t make it on your blog for the world to see or I wouldn’t have mentioned anything about my parents. They are like my best friends in this world and I wouldn’t do anything to hurt them. They may not be perfect but who is?
I love your blog because of the humor but, family is just too easy to pick on and I know you can find humor somewhere else because, easy is not always the best!
Sami, this is just something from my heart that I see you making a mistake on so, if I’m speaking out of turn please forgive me! I must have grown up in a little different culture than you.
I was taught to respect my parents and the only reason I mentioned them that way earlier was to show you I can relate to you knowing it won’t go any farther than me to you.
I hope you delete this and not post it. I know you screen your comments now after my first one. So do I. I tend to get a lot of porno spammers in my niche.
Anyway, I’m proud of you girl your site is filling out pretty good although I haven’t read all your content just yet.
I know you are busy these days and I can relate to that but, some day I would love to compare notes about our blogs with you.
I see a lot of potential with yours once you get the traffic volume up and maybe you are already there now.
I know some bloggers that have thousands on their lists and only get a few comments per post. That doesn’t mean squat. Some people are just shy.
You know just like me! LOL
If you will delete this! I will come back and try to give you a shorter and more humorous comment on another one of your post.
I would ask you to do the same for me but after reading my articles on my blog they REALLY SUCK. The amazing part is people still will spend an hour or more reading my writings. Sure wish they would go ahead and buy the e-books I’m promoting!
Never-the-less life is still good!
Well Sami, I hope my friend, if I haven’t worn out my welcome already! If I have just tell me to get lost. My feelings won’t be hurt.
I don’t take offenses. I know how to forgive and forget and just move on.
Got to go sweety girl, fun talking to you, to bad you couldn’t talk back. Ah, the life of a blogger, get use to one sided conversations.
Just DELETE!
Hi Christopher,
Wow, you’ve left the longest comment in the history of comments! I’m not in the business of vetting comments that are critical of or have a different opinion to what I write (unless they are spam) hence approving yours. I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of an opinion. I thought about defending my post, defending the relationship I have with my family and defending the Aussie cultural tradition of giving each other shit but then thought, nope, there’s no need to. You are entitled to your opinion, style of writing and content, as am I and I am more than happy with the post, my relationship with my family and giving myself and them shit!
Thank you for expressing your point of view. You have, however, mentioned a couple of times that I should delete your comment so if you’d prefer I did that, then let me know.
Cheers
Sami
