I’ve changed my avatar. Want to know why? Well.
When I was in Florida over the break, my blog was brought up casually over Snicky-Snacks (the traditional Floridian pre-dinner “chips ‘n drinks” time). Anyhow, a few minutes later the following (ish) dialogue ensued:
Dad: So why are there so many goofy photos of you on your blog?
Me: Goofy? Which ones? I have one of me in my room… smiling. And playing with snow. Oh. Do you mean the one throwing leaves?
Mom: I think he means the little display picture of you in the corner.
Me: Bu-
Dad: Yeah. That’s the one! The one with the goofy smile.
Me: It’s not goofy! I’m smiling, Dad! Thanks a lot!
Mom: And your eyes are crossed.
Me: My eyes are not crossed. What do you even mean? It’s just a normal picture!
Dad (totally serious): She’s probably just trying to repel the blog stalkers.
Mom: Oh, that makes sense. Good idea, honey. *rubs my back*
Me: I. Hate. You. All.
Yep! My sisters had a good laugh out of that one. And when I got back I asked David to that confirm my parents are crazy for me and do you know what he said?
He said: “Yup. They’re crossed.”
In memory of that wonderful evening, I’ve decided to go with a picture from Florida ’cause I’m wearing sunglasses and you can’t see my eyes. Ha.
Love,
Lindsay
