don’t compliment anyone, you might get shot!

The Peanut decided he was uninterested in sleeping last night… between roughly 12-330 he was up and down, fussing, wanting to snuggle and wanting to kick us out of our bed. The Sister and I, after around four hours of sleep, ran on fumes all day.

We went to a fantastic place for dinner though and after we were done, I took the Peanut outside to run up and down the sidewalk while they paid the check and finished their drinks. A man walked by and said, “hey cutiepie” and smiled at us. I told the Peanut to say “hi” and “thank you”… and the guy informed me he was talking to me. I smiled and said thanks and moved away down the sidewalk, texting my sister to tell them to hurry up.

I was recounting this to her in the car and my dad said, “this is why you need to be packing!” To which I responded, “so I can shoot a guy for giving me a compliment? seriously?”

Texas was the originator of the stand your ground law – shoot first, don’t ask questions later. 😛
