Oh No You Ditn't!


Boy, it felt good to have some blood boiling through me again yesterday. Sarah, the baby and I were down at our neighborhood pool chillin' when these riff raff black kids came and tried to swim. I knew them because they hang out at our neighbor's house next door and last year when I was pool police I kicked them out. So I ask the spokesman of the group if they live here in the neighborhood. He said they did to which I said, "No you don't, I see where you walk into the neighborhood from across the street all the time." He told me to shut up. Then the other boy with them admitted to me they didn't live in the neighborhood when the other kid went to the bathroom. He said "Tell me if she starts trippin'" as he left to relieve himself. So I told them again they couldn't swim and he said, "You bettah shut up or you're gonna get your a** whooped." What?? Oh no you ditn't! So I had our friendly Sherrif pay him and his brother a visit thanks to directions from the kids next door. Apparently they don't hang out anymore with them anymore after he assaulted some boys next door last Sunday. Real winner! If I see him around here again I'm gonna busta cap in his...what?? That's right! Darren has a high power pellet gun and I'm not afraid to use it!

You are hilarious! You'd think they'd have some manners with a lady. What is this generation coming to? ;) Remind me never to mess with you...

Amy said...

Just pure craziness. Holy cow. Remind me to never get on your bad side ever again. Never know what might happen to me... ;)

How purty.

BTW - The time is off in your comments section. At 9:14am I was at work. Maybe it was 11:14 when I commented on your bravery.

Yes! I have to deal with my share of hoodlums living 2 1/2 miles from downtown. I use to not know what to do but then they would just tick me off so bad that I would start yelling at them and they would look at me like I was a crazy lady. And take off.

I can't help it! You have to be brave and stand up for what it right....it's just too bad that it has to happen with our little 3 year old and 1 month old in toe. It sucks but that is our reality these days! Unless you have those people who live in a little bubble and think they are immune to everything...but they are not.

We have to live our lives but be cautious. I think some of these kids need to be sent to fight a war or something to whip their a$$@$ into shape.

In the 1930's, 40's, 50's you were worried about getting sent off to war so you at least tried to stay out of trouble.

And another thing....people are hand delivered so much free stuff these days....you don't even have to learn about the ethics of HARD WORK and believing in yourself, and having a sense of self worth.

I think a mom, or mother-figure and father figure at home is what teaches kids about that....but most of those kids don't have that either. THat's what's wrong with this world!!! It makes me sooooo mad what is happening to our society.

But it IS a beautiful world and we can have a beautiful life in it still....by supporting what we like and trying to improve what we don't like - being outspoken and not scared to speak up!!!!! Oh girl....don't even get Izzy started.

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I'm talking about!!!!!!

If only this world had more mom's and citizens like you!!!!!

Your neighborhood should thank the Ashton girls for standing up. And I remind people, as a hispanic girl, it's NOT about race - because actually you probably wouldn't mind some kids sneakin' in your pool if they came and swam for a bit and had a good time and left.....BUT NO!!!! They have to tell a sweet, selfless stay-at-home-mom to "Shut Up!"

Don't even get me started!

Gotta love that feeling of explosion. I usually throw something at the person in charge of my tempature change. Good thing I wasn't there or he might have gotten a pool chair to the head.

You crack me up! You know, the first time I read this I thought it said "Tell me if she starts STRIPPIN"....and I was like WHAT?!?!?! Then I reread it and saw that it sais TRIPPIN- much more acceptable- but still enough to make your blood boil.

You are so brave! I do not think I would have had the guts to say anything! I am glad you did!

Mark Youngs said...

Hey Linz, I just think of you singing R E S P E C T at the family reunion karoke night. I can see you taking those boys on!!! Just watch your back. They might want some revenge. XOXO, mom

Ok am I missing some inside Joke between you and Sara or did some random person just call you a yuppy white Mormon lady? Was that religious description really necessary...Anyway, I've seen some of the kids that hang out at your pool and they could use a little ass whooping! Maybe next time I'm there we could gang up on them. J/K I'm definitely too chicken to even say anything.
