My best friend went to her family's barbeque this Memorial Day and to her surprise one of her cousins, who lives in my neighborhood and whom I see from time to time, had some very interesting questions about moi. Well, the next day my BFF emailed me the highlights of the conversation and I am going to share with you what her cousin asked about me. The first question she asked was did I have a boyfriend or was I seeing anybody? The answer is no. The other question was, why don't I have any children yet? Now, I don't have worry about my BFF not setting her straight, and, yes, she did. My question is, is this the only reason why I was put on earth-- to simply procreate??!! Why haven't Miss Cranky had any children yet? Hmmmm, let me see. I am not financially secure yet and is unfortunately still living at home. Yeah, it sucks. Not to mention that I am not even in a relationship yet let alone married! I know...I know... it's 2007 and you don't have to be married to have children. Yes, I get it.
Would I be a prude, though, if I wanted to get married before I have children? Is there something wrong with having my children's last name the same as their father's. No, I am not knocking single mother hood. I actually come from a single parent home and seen how hard it is to be a single mother. Luckily, I was raised in an extended family and my grandmother watched over me while my mother worked her ass off trying to provide me clothes, shelter, and send me to Catholic school because she felt I'd receive the best education there. Really, I'm kind of on the fence about having kids anyway. The only children I can stand is my friends' kids and that is because I can give them back! If a husband, kids, and a white picket fence is in the future for me then fine, if it's not then I am not going to cry myself to sleep over it.
Speaking of my love life, even the cousin's friend wondered about my love life or lack there of! Her friend, who happens to be one of my neighbors whom lives across the street from me, noticed how there are no guys at my door and therefore might assume that I might not even be into guys at all. Oh, for the love of God! Now, I am a lesbian because guys are not knocking down my door asking me for dates!!! I am not mad that he thinks I'm probably a lesbian, it wouldn't be his business if that was the case. I am mad that I am not the only one aware of my eternal singledom! Pour salt into the wounds why don't cha! Yes, I am a very independent woman who does not feel that she "needs" a man or needs a man to "define" herself. However, I am not too proud to admit that, yes, there are times I get lonely. Once again, nosey neighbor, thanks for noticing!
In all serious, I really don't care what people think of me. I told my BFF she can let her cousin and her friend assume what they want to. I told her the next time she sees her cousin tell her that I am seeing a woman named Lawanda and she has been falsely inseminated and we are expecting our first child. That will keep them wondering for sure! I'm always down for a little mind fucking!
