Mama Kat Prompt - So You Think I'm a What?

Ahhh....so another Wednesday has rolled around and that means it's Mama Kat's writing prompt time. Last week I skipped out and since I have this week off work I thought it best to participate - no excuses. Sure enough I checked out the prompts and one "called" to me.



What is a common misconception about you?


Upon reading that prompt - I immediately thought of a few misconceptions that drive me CRAZY!

Misconception #1 "People always think I'm a stuck up bitch if they don't really know me" - I've always thought the source of that misconception is that when I'm not smiling I just don't appear friendly. Sorry, I'm just not the chipper cheerleader type to go around smiling all the time. I reserve smiles for real reasons - like G's baby giggles, K's stupid accents he attempts to do, and bad 5 year old level jokes. Here - I'll present example A to the jury:


See, that's a candid picture from a fun photo shoot with my mom and sister and I was having fun, but sure enough...no smile on my face looks like pissed off girl licking the batter....it's nuts! Also, cut me some slack in that pic as I was about 7-8 months pregnant at the time. So, the moral of that story - is get to know someone before you decide they are total biatch. Here's another pic from that photo shoot to prove that I actually look nice and friendly while smiling:


Isn't that the cutest pic - love how my mom, myself, and sister all smile alike :)

Ok, onto misconception #2 - That because I'm witty and have a fantastic sense of humor (if I do say so myself) that I therefore am not sensitive to others remarks....WRONG! Despite my strong exterior I'm pretty much a mush ball on the inside and little things get to me and I get hurt easily. Those that know me well have seen a few of my meltdowns and it ain't pretty. So word to the wise - tread lightly on all people and realize that despite them appearing strong and able to handle anythings they do still have feelings and they can get hurt easily. Be nice people :)

Ok, well that's my story and I'm sticking to it....what are some misconceptions about YOU?
