They Don't Call Me "Ghetto" for Nothing

*** WARNING: The following content requires earmuffs ***

A few months ago I went to happy hour with a few of my co-workers.  One of them called me "edgy" with a little bit of "ghetto".  I didn't really care because I was a few vodka sodas deep and haven't thought about it since.... until today.

I just came out of a meeting and stopped by co-worker friendly's cube.

Co-Worker Friendly - What's wrong?  Did you just get out of another meeting?

Me - Ya... I feel like I just got bent over and *earmuffs* *earmuffs* *earmuffs*

Co-Worker Friendly - (uncomfortable laugh)  Ohh....

Me -  I've never waned to *earmuffs* slap someone so bad and then *earmuffs* *earmuffs* *earmuffs* etc...

As I walked I away I realized, "Wow... normal people probably don't talk that way in the work place... or at all".  I decided that I really need to work on my language as a "lady".  I thought about being edgy and ghetto... and then also remembered what the Mr. had once told me as a result of my "gangsta-ness".

"Babe - I could never cheat on you. I'm too scared you would cut my *earmuffs* off and throw it in some bush somewhere."

I suppose being "ghetto" has its pros and cons.



I will cut you.

    1. Haha thanks Kandice! I was surprised to hear me described as that... and then realized I must talk on the phone too loud in my cubicle. ;)

  3. Okay you so don't look like someone who would be down with the earmuff gangsta crew. I promised myself to watch my mouth this year since little GG is repeating everything I say and I do mean everything.

    1. Ya... The Chitlin likes to walk around and say "shit". When she says it in front of other people I pretend to not hear it so I don't feel like a bad Mom lol
