Recently
I‘ve had overabundant dealings with blameologists. Don’t know what that is? It’s a person who is able to blame others
faster than my ex-boyfriend’s attempts at fore-play. Did I somehow miss that class in high
school? I mean, I’m not above blaming the dog for my farts. And I used to blame
my messy house and nasty car on my kids (damn them for leaving home!). And I
understand how blaming the boss can be a fabulous team building exercise. But, does
one need a scapegoat for EVERYTHING?
I
guess so, based on our national addiction to responsibility-avoidance. It
reminds me of kids deciding who’s going to be IT in a game. Everyone’s screaming,
“Not IT!”
Maybe
I just need some practice at this blaming thing – you know, so I can fit in better. By God, I’m going to take the gloves off and practice some serious
finger pointing RIGHT NOW. Let’s see….
-- I can blame my messy desk at work on
fracking and those damn earthquakes.
-- I can blame my Sunday morning blood-shot eyes
on allergies. Yea, that’s it. ALLERGIES.
-- I can blame my fork for my recent weight
gain.
-- I can blame Siri for that drunk call to an
old boyfriend at 2 AM.
-- I can blame my underwear for that quickie
sex I had in the bathroom the other night.
-- I can blame global warming for my crab
grass.
-- And, God knows, I can blame my mother for
everything else.
So,
if you don’t like this post … or this blog … it’s not my fault! Go find your
girlfriends and have a Blame-storming party. See how many things you can blame
on others. But be sure to fix some Blame It on Rio cocktails! Blaming will
never be so fun!
