Hipster–The opinionated purse
Hipster: I was talking to Mr. D today when Queen B came sauntering in with her happy whiskered face. She was being too nice. Mr. D and I exchanged looks saying that we knew she was up to something or that she had been rolling around in the catnip again. Even though she is bipolar, Queen B would never admit it. The world revolves around her. Mr. D and I have different ideas. Mrs. T doesn’t seem to notice or maybe she pretends otherwise. Queen B has her snowed.
Mr. D: Usually, when Queen B is being nice an eruption follows. She likes to upchuck one of her slimy fur balls and hurl it at me. I have learned to be on guard and duck. Queen B is quite discerning and is always thinking up new ways to trick me.
Queen B: Mr. D and the Hipster think they are quite something and think they have me figured out. Ha! Ha! They get on my nerves and quite frankly I don’t know why Mrs. T keeps them around. You would think that I would be enough to keep her happy.
Mrs. T talking to the Hipster: It’s Friday, school is out and time to go home and see how Mr. D and Queen B are getting along. It has been an interesting day today subbing at the local high school. The munchkins were pretty good. We survived another week.
Hipster: Sometimes, I think Mrs. T has on rose colored glasses and doesn’t see what the kids are really doing. They love being on their chrome books (cheap version of the laptop computer). Even when she goes around the room, they seem to be doing their work. When she has her back turned, there are always one or two that will find a game to play. Or one will be playing some raunchy music video. These types of things are supposed to be blocked but the kids know how to get around them. One day she happened to catch a girl watching one of those videos. The video showed a couple of young women in scantily clad clothes that were doing some kind of provocative dance routine. Sound is not allowed so Mrs. T could not hear the actual music. Ear buds are allowed so the student can hear it. The video had sexual innuendoes and was quite disgusting. The girl was quite mouthy and told Mrs. T she didn’t have to watch it. That girl loved that kind of music and if Mrs. T didn’t like it she could leave and get out of her space. Mrs. T wasn’t too happy with her and told her to find something constructive to do. It’s a good thing I’m just an opinionated purse or I would have taken a different approach. You don’t want to know what I would have done.
After arriving at home….
Hipster: Mr. D and Queen B seemed to have gotten along today. There have been days when that isn’t always the case. I remember one day when we came home and the house was littered with shredded paper towels and unrolled toilet paper. Queen B and Mr. D got into a fight over her slimy fur balls and tried to cover up the mess with the paper towels. Queen B blamed Mr. D for everything. It was one of Mr. D’s down days and he had enough of her shenanigans. He had a melt down and growled at her. She hissed back and it was downhill from there. Mrs. T had a meltdown and went on a crying jag that lasted awhile. I was ready to throw all of them out in the back yard and have some peace and quiet. That didn’t work…I’m just a purse.
