Most of us have certain little habits that we display at times of frustration, anger, disbelief or any other emotion. Along these lines, in the Sandi Webster series I let her assume the annoying habit of sighing. As a matter of fact, she’s pretty much brought it to an art form. In the new Bogey Man series, Pamela Cross rolls her eyes, even while remembering that her mother once told her to quit it because they might get stuck that way. (Anyone else remember their mother telling them this scary little story?) And then it happened; a news report about a woman who both rolls her eyes and sighs, and the possible consequences. In Elmhurst, Illinois, a woman was ejected from a public meeting for excessively rolling her eyes and sighing. Local officials are looking at the possibility of creating a “disturbance and disorderly conduct” violation because of this individual’s annoying attitude and performance. The City Attorney will report his findings at a later date. Who says that fiction is too unrealistic sometimes? Not me. I know that many real life stories would be scoffed at if they were found in a piece of fiction, because (to use a cliché) life really is stranger than fiction. Of course, there’s more to the story than this, but I’m not a reporter and this isn’t a newspaper. If Sandi and Pamela were real people, they’d probably be outside the public meeting place marching and carrying placards – and sighing and rolling their eyes. In the meantime, their counterparts, Pete and Chris, might be standing on the sidelines hoping that no one recognizes them. I hate to admit it, but I had to roll my own eyes when I heard this story. Think about it for a moment. Do you have an annoying habit? Do you think you could break yourself of that habit? Most importantly, do you want to stop doing whatever it is that you do? Oh, forget about it and go have a chocolate bar or a piece of lemon cake and enjoy your day. Until next time, I wish you a week of rainbows and kept promises.
