2. In a novel on widowhood: "Yvonne counted the couples. Eight sets, then nine. The couples by the beverage stand brought the number up to at least a dozen. What she was experiencing must be similar, she mused, to what a child-craving woman felt when passing a playground."
3. On the bottom, bump-covering half of a T-shirt smugly flaunted by a grimacingly glowing pregnant lady: "Unique and precious ♥"

Why is there not a Like button on the blogspot blogS?? Love this post!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that feature on WP the other day - funny. Nice to know you'd use it if it were there!
DeleteHuge eye roll right along with you!
ReplyDeleteRepugnance loves company.
Delete#3: GAG!
ReplyDeleteYes, an eye-roll might not quite cut it for that one ....
DeleteMassive eye roll at #1! Yuck, reading these is like not being able to get a nasty taste out of your mouth!
ReplyDeleteOh! I forgot! My eye rolls lately have been aimed at stupid motivational pins on Pintrest and FB about "hard work will get you where you want to be in life/ all good things come to those who wait" type things. SO ANNOYING!
ReplyDeleteYeah - hard work, waiting ... and, often, a whole lot of luck!
DeleteTriple ick!
ReplyDeleteYep!
DeleteI think I have eye strain now. :\
ReplyDeleteSorrrrrry ...
Delete#1: really? In a grammar guide? Maybe they haven't heard but life isn't always perfect... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI guess it is if you live in a grammar guide ....
Delete#1...I suppose a woman graduating university after already having bagged the husband is their single nod to the 21st century then??
ReplyDeleteBlech. Bad taste indeed.
Actually, the rest of the little story seems a bit too aggressively 21st century - Sarah works part-time until the baby turns two, then she goes full-time. Only then does poor repressed Jeff have the chance to graduate from university and find a better job (perhaps with another pay rise?). See, it is possible for women to have it all!
Deletepregnant bellies are beautiful.....but they make me so sad nowadays
ReplyDeleteMe too, but I'll disguise it with bitter eye-rolls at slogan-covered maternity tees.
DeleteJust when I thought the world was making some progress.
ReplyDeleteBut Sarah then goes on to have it all - husband, big house, baby, AND job! How's that for progress ....
DeleteGag. Ew. Vomit.
ReplyDeleteSorry 'bout that.
DeleteHaha, love!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteOh, #3 is the worst! Unique and precious? Ridiculous. That makes me shudder.
ReplyDeleteThat one does merit more than just a mere eyeroll!
