What Brings Out The Drama In You?

Posted on 19. Oct, 2009 by loswhit in Mid Afternoon Distraction

I’m sometimes AMAZED at the amount of drama my children can produce.
If I could solve world hunger with 1,200 vats filled with drama, they could fill those bad boys in a day or two.
We Are the World would be a distant memory.
I mean tonight Losiah dropped down on all fours and started beating his head on the floor because he had to eat one more pickle before he could leave the table.
“It’s a freaking pickle kid” – I said
“Don’t say freaking dad, it’s a bad word”, Seanna said in a monotone voice from across the room.
How did Heather produce an exact replica of herself?
Well, I know HOW she did it, but that’s an after midnight post.

All night long tonight, fight, scream, cry, laugh, whines, drama, drama, drama, drama, drama.
After they went to bed I walked into the kitchen and screamed like a girl at the top of my lungs.
I ran into the living room and onto the sofa.
I was not going to get within 10 feet of that nasty thing.
A shoe, I would feel the crunch. Nope.
The paper, I would miss and it would run by me. Nope.
The broom would only wound it and I would vomit at the sight of if wiggling around for 5 minutes. Nope.
So I proceeded downstairs to grab the vacuum cleaner and chased that thing around the kitchen for 2 minutes until I sucked that bad boy into the hell it belonged to.

And I wonder where they got the drama from?

Roaches and giving massages might be the 2 most tormenting things I can think of in this world.
What brings out the drama in you?

    Spiders. Major ick. (And did you know, by the way, that you are never more than 6 feet from a spider at any given time?

    And in other news, sometimes roaches crawl out of vacuum cleaners. Just sayin’.

    Wow, I think you have more issues than just drama

    What brings out the Drama in me is when someone does something different than me. I usually do the Losiah approach, band my head on the ground and cry (figuratively of course) but I am amazing how how I think I have the right to all the answers and everyone should do what I do.

    Oh, and I hate crickets. Not that I am afraid to kill them, well maybe a little, they just annoy me when they creek (is that the noise they make, or maybe I should ask what noise does a whale make? Bad inside joke) but I get frustrated with crickets.

    People with an undeserved sense of entitlement. I get MAD. 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds.

    I think there is a picture somewhere of my dad, your grandfather, on top of a chair, while Mama, your grandmother, is trying to kill a mouse. I guess it runs in the family.

    Bad drivers. Oh. Em. Gee. I can go from holy to hell-bound in seconds when people drive like 15-year-olds. I can feel my pulse accelerating just thinking about it …

    um, just two? spiders. snakes. bugs. how about this. ONE is anything creature with more than four legs or no legs at all. TWO avoidance brings out the drama in me like no other. thanks for the laugh bud.

    drama come up in me when I get inept customer service, or when people in walmart stop in the middle of the isle to have a conversation with someone they haven’t seen in ten years…drives me NUTS! and I have a hard time not letting them know through a look or exasperated “EXCUSE ME!” that they are in the wrong…I’m working on it :)

    Drama producers:
    Stress overload, bad TV
    Negativity

    Thanks for saying the part about giving massages. I thought i was the only one.

    The children in my class showing me their loose teeth especially if the teeth are hanging by 1 root with blood all around the gums. PUKE!
    Disrespectful people. Unkindness. Lack of empathy and compassion.

    Men that are afraid of bugs. :)

    My daughter waking us up multiple times in the middle of the night because she has lost a stuffed animal in her bed. I’ll rush to her side anytime for just about anything. But whoever invented stuffed animals deserves a special place next to Sisyphus. Or maybe under his rock.

    Roaches freak me out too. I need a wad of tissue to pick them up. As for dealing with the kid drama, try what this lady did! http://tinyurl.com/yzux56s

    Ewooo – wiggly teeth DEFINITELY and the sense of entitlement “don’t you know who I am” attitude.

    ::power punch:: for Matt Esau – sadly that happens a lot with Christians. For a while, I had a very bitter taste in my mouth for serving because of that.

    Spiders rank. either first or go head to head with the “entitlement” answer.

    When my roomie and I are catching up on our days and she continually takes text messages and interrupts the conversation. I don’t get dramatic (drama is an internal explosion for introverts) but I do check out and it pretty much kills the conversation.

    oh and low blood sugar. I am adamantly certain that low blood sugar mimics turbulent hormones.

  20. Carrie 20 October 2009 at 10:26 am #

    Low blood sugar. That time of the month. And people who always talk and never listen.

    Waiting. In line. At a stoplight. At the BMV. To get food. To get sleep. To get out of church. For my wife. For my son. For the future.

    If it involves waiting – it brings out the drama in me everytime.

  22. Russell 20 October 2009 at 1:12 pm #

    Nothing. I’m a machine.

  23. eric 20 October 2009 at 6:10 pm #

    dude.. i think it’s when my dog tears up my back yard when it rains. but mainly it’s probably my fault for not getting him a dog house yet.

  24. Lora 21 October 2009 at 8:12 am #

    Leaders who say “yes” and do “no”. When meat has not thawed sufficiently enough to cook. And dinner is in 20.

  25. Angus Nelson 21 October 2009 at 8:31 am #

    Dude, you can’t give a massage? Your poor wife.

    I freak out when I bite into chicken wings that are raw and bloody inside.

  26. Pearmama 3 November 2009 at 9:19 pm #

    I freak out when I accidentally touch rotting fruit and/or vegetables. I guess its the whole decaying thing. Ew.

    And I have been known to get dramatic and buckwild when I’m in cleaning mode and I bust into a room where everything is in a mess and my kids are lounging around or playing video games. I turn into my mother! And that is REALLY scary!!
