What is the best way to nice-to-death someone who regularly interacts with you, but doesn't know you very well, after they are mean to you (and you are really pissed because it was your birthday--whether they knew it or not is besides the point) ?
Oh crap. Was I not nice to you? I hope it wasn't me. Wait, I think I know you pretty well, so it couldn't have been me. I no longer bother with being nice-to-death...I've gotten better at being blunt. But you could just do a lot of fake gushing about his/her hairdo, shoes, taste in music, etc.
Ugh. When I picked up the kids from school on Friday, another mother said something quite mean to me. The thing that sucks is that I have to see her almost every day. I think being nice to her may not get the message across. Perhaps I will drive her crazy by ignoring her.
Everyone needs a place to put the crazy in their life. For us, this is that place.
"I love my sisters; they're great. That doesn't mean a single one of us should be allowed out in society. Quite the contrary." -Margaret
"When I was a kid, one of the rides at KiddieLand busted out my front tooth so I had to get a fake one. It's not as cool as, say, having an eye patch, but you take what you can get, I guess. Anyway, they shut that place down." -Martha
"About us? What's to know about us? I had a diary with a kitten on the cover in fourth grade. Does that help?" -Catherine
"Actually, I pretend not to be related to them." -Victoria

Margaret is plotting a new course.
Martha is a "liar, liar, pants on fire." Of course, if my pants are really on fire, I don't think I should be overly troubled about being a liar.
