I hate one-uppers
My friend, Carrie, blogged about a conversation she had w/another mom who was convinced her baby was the smartest, most talented baby ever and beyond anyone else's. Then I watched a bit of Oprah today. It was about mothers and why we let ourselves feel/get so overwhelmed. And there is a book called Sailing Home: Using Homer's Odyssey to Navigate Life's Perils and Pitfalls by Norman Fischer that I am not interested in reading. And Oprah ended by mentioning that women should be lifting each other up instead of comparing and putting others down for the way they raise their children. We should support and help each other out because we all need it! So it makes me laugh when I come across one-uppers and it makes me think of this SNL skit. Hilarious! I love these "Penelope" character skits. It's not my favorite episode (w/Peyton Manning) but I couldn't find it anywhere online. But this one is still so good! Makes me laugh every time I see this girl.

I hate one-uppers, too. It's so much better when we all support and help each other.
ReplyDeleteI totally know what SNL you are talking about!! The one with Peyton Manning I mean. That was the first time I have ever seen this Penelope girl cause I don't watch SNL much but it was HILARIOUS!!! Great video Hannah!

Lol.. I had a friend in highschool who had "been there done that" better AND worse than me. Needless to say, that friendship didn't last very long.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all know someone like that? Wait! I hope I am not like that. I always seem to have some sort of comment. But the one-upping thing is just too annoying. Tell me if I do it. I am counting on you, Hannah.
