as I strive to be.
If my dog jerks the leash while I am
-very daintily--
raiding the local book kiosk,
it requires enormous restraint to say,
"My goodness!" and stay on my feet as if I'd taken years of ballet.
Besides,
~the shame!~
I've never read Jane Austen.

Indeed--the restraint would be *way* beyond my powers, even though I have spent years devoted to teh ladylikeness. I especially like that you have given a great fillip to my weekend by going for spontaneity and humor here, not to mention that perfect close. I hope that your weekend will kick a huge quantity of ass, my dear, especially those of the rude workmen outside your windows.
ReplyDeleteps now laughing uproariously at the tags
ReplyDeletea lady can only take a very specific number of jerks. lol...lol is my texting way to giggle and cover my mouth while pirouetting away:D Of course, it's sassy. Of course, we're classy. We've got all those ballet lessons tucked under our g-strings.
ReplyDeleteer...or garter belts. our guarded belts.

Cackling. Just so good.
ReplyDeleteI just closed my eyes and pictured this scene... and, of course, I can't stop grinning. Hysterical.
ReplyDeleteShay, ever the genteel lady...

ReplyDeleteWondering what sort of penance one does for such a confession, heheh.
ReplyDeleteoh, my gosh! it's no fun to be a fucking lady! never tried. never will.

I was brought up to be ladylike and had to work hard to overcome the handicap. (It just doesn't do on an Australian schoolground.)
