REALLY PEOPLE????
REALLY????
I was just looking at my new blog layout (I am quite impressed that I finally figured out how to do it!) when I came across this description at the top of my page.
"Hi, My name is Stephanie. I am a wife and a Stay-at-home."
A Stay-at-home what???? Of course it was meant to say stay-at-home mom but since it just said stay-at-home, it really could be interpreted as anything.
So when strangers read my blog they are left to speculate just exactly I stay-at-home to do.
They probably think things like this:
"Maybe she is a stay-at-home ventriloquist."
"Maybe she is a stay-at-home video game tester."
"Maybe she is a stay-at-home under-water basket weaver."
Although all of those occupations would be awesome and I would love to be talented enough to be a ventriloquist, I feel like it would be dishonest to let people presume that I was capable of being that awesome.
I have already taken it upon myself and corrected this typo but for future reference, someone should have pointed that out.
I understand why my overwhelming awesomeness might intimidate you from correcting me but when it comes to matters of grammar I would very much appreciate positive criticism.
That is all I really have to say.
Except for this: Under-water basket weaver was the most creative occupation I could come up with but I fully intended to come up with something funnier. Something like a stay-at-home elephant hoof filer, or a stay-at-home Kangaroo pouch zipper maker... I hope you weren't too disappointed by the lack of creativity given to the assumed occupations. I also hope that you will take this as my solemn vow to apply more creativity when posting comical blogs. As always, Thank you very much for reading this!
