My Passive-Aggressive Serenity Prayer

God, I am sorry to be calling so
late, but please grant me the
serenity to passively-
aggressively confront the
things I cannot comfortably
change for example the way I
never ask for things, and then
get things because I never
asked for them until I have a
melt down, and to find within
tiny adorably modest me the
passive courage to change the
things I can with my
aggression which is really just
assertiveness, sort of, not
really,
And wisdom to know the
difference but i do not want to
bother you.
Meg Pokrass was once a Jewish Nun with many bad habits. She is now a flashy writer, that is she writes flashy fictions. Additionally, she is also an editor who enjoys both submissions and rejections. If you want to go to her website, not saying you SHOULD go to her website just saying, if you are really bored and maybe want to see it you can find her at http://megpokrass.com
I love your style.
OMG! Laughing ass off.
Ha ha ha. I’m laughing my ass off. I always suspected you were a passive-aggressive Jewish niun in your past life.
Yes, it is true. And thank you. I am a bad Jewish nun in past lives, and in this life, too. I am glad you have laughed your ass off. I didn’t know that was possible. I may try that today!
Ha! Love this Meg–u funny! I ran into a passive aggressive on the bike trail the other day. She tried to disguise her aggression behind a lilting sing-song voice, the kind a mother would use for her child. The kind that means to say “since I’m talking like this, I’m not really being an A-1 bee ach”–but of course you are. She was dilly dallying on the single-track, and messing up my line and rhythm, so I went around her VERY PLEASANTLY. She sing-songed her little rule, “Keep the single-track a single-track.” And I shot back, Oh, but I can’t really say cause it wasn’t passive aggressive.
(BTW, passing is allowed and happens all the time, especially during the Town Challenge Mountain Bike Racing, and especially when A-1 bee aches don’t do the courteous thing and pull over to let you around)
Haha, my little rant. I’m usually pretty nice. Usually. Passively. Kidding!
yep. yep. well, i think so!
i am sorry i didn’t see this sooner. Yes, passive-agressiveness is aggressive these days. It is like the Bird Flu. Please be careful.
