My new DK apparel is causing controversy!

[Rose Ann and Amante]

 

I received my WTD cap and my "For the love of Doodles" hoodie. I am sportin my new gear as I am walking Amante at th outdoor mall! We sit at the doggie cafe to have Me- my Latte and Amante- his Doggie Bagel. I notice these older ladies looking at us and doing that gossip thing that old bitties do. I am assuming they are trying to figure out what kind of dog Amante is. Proud as  can be I smile back and tell Amante that he has to stop being a flirt. ( he is a "lover" and very handsome). Suddenly the attack is on. OB #1 ( Old Bitty)ask me if I think it is appropriate that I wear a baseball cap with such an obscene comment on it. I reply "what is obscene and offensive about it."  OB#2 replies that the problem with that generation is that we  are not educated enough to understand what things mean when we buy them, and then just wear them anyway. In our day we would not use such vocabulary and certainly not advertise that we use them .

I am staring at them and thinking why do these people always find me! I was just sittin here with my dude enjoying a coffee and a bagel minding my own business.

I take a deep breath and say " ladies I think you may be confused, My cap does not say "What the f *& K", but "What the Doodle!", My dog is a GD and I belong to a doodle club. " There is silence... I smile trying to be respectful as my mother taught me. Suddenly OB #1 replies" these young people all they do is text and talk on their computers is it not a wonder the world is falling apart!! No one can just talk any more". As I  look in amazement at my doodle, He is looking at the ground and I am sure he is shaking his head side to side. I am laughing so hard the OB's say to me that I am rude and just walk away!!

Don't worry it is not an age , it is a lifestyle!!!!!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Our age and I guess a few years younger : ) I know of at least two cousins who would call me that. They are one generation down and don't like my objections about texting while eating out with them. I just try to avoid these events if possible. I am also not a fan of constant interruptions for call waiting. But I do not go up to random, as the kids would say, strangers and make comments about their clothing or pretty much anything else : )

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

To those cousins of yours, I say, "HOKUM!"

[F, Calla & Luca]

Thanks! They think they are not rude cause everyone does this--really makes me feel OOTL (out of the loop). Just made that one up but it probably exists.

[Nina, Phil, Harlow &amp; Lacey]

Linda, I don't think it is an age as much as a state of mind. :-o  You my friend will never be an OB. :D

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

they sound miserable. some people just aren't happy unless they have something to complain about.

[Rose Ann and Amante]

I actually have been laughing all day!!! You are right though some people are happy to complain!!

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

oh how funny! Old people -  lol

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

What silly women they are.  Not only do they not understand acronyms, they have not embraced any of the wonders of the new technology which enables all of us to belong to this amazing community wherever we are in the world.  My 92 year old aunt uses Skype, email and FB so she definitely doesn't belong to this particular group of OB's.

I love your Auntie!

[Rose Ann and Amante]

I swear he was shaking his head. He was probably thinking like I was "why do these people find me"

[Rose Ann and Amante]

Being an OB is not about age, it is a lifestlye!!
