At least I didn&#8217;t have to mop up blood in the lobby today. See, not all bad. That&#8217;s me always looking on the bright side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m doing wrong. Maybe it&#8217;s the inconsistency in posting, or the fact that our Mother is pretty much the only one who reads this, but today I had the worst thing ever happen. It started when I got home and my daughter went out to get the mail. She passed me a good sized package that was addressed to me. Yay! I love packages. Good things usually come in packages. I tore it open and was completely stunned. Some bloggers get awesome invitations to parties, premieres, gift cards, video games, well, you get the drift. Usually some good stuff. But not me, no, I was sent a sample pack of <em>Depends! <\/em>Holy oops I crapped my pants Batman! <em>Depends??!! <\/em><strong>What the hell??!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><\/em>Who had this incredibly stupid marketing idea of sending out a bunch of samples of &#8220;Depends&#8221; to some bloggers. &#8220;I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll be thrilled to get them. You know how they just love free stuff. It&#8217;s a win-win.&#8221; I&#8217;m thinking they didn&#8217;t consider that a lot of people would be less than thrilled to find that particular suprise in their mailbox. Or, even worse, they only sent them to me!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I was more mortified than thrilled. I mean, really? I feel like I&#8217;ve been added to some horrible, hellish mailing list of people with possible\u00a0urinary incontinence. How the hell did I get in that demographic? Because I&#8217;ve had 4 kids? Because I&#8217;m a grandmother, a <em>very young <\/em>grandmother? For the record, I absolutely 100% do not now, or have I ever needed adult diapers. Ugh!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After my son stopped laughing he said &#8220;Why are the people on the package smiling? I bet they had to pay them one hundred dollars to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Next time you&#8217;re complaining about the bills you got in your mail, remember it could be worse. You could be getting a sample package of adult diapers.
