Uppity Bastard

Some asshole called me uppity today. I even had to look it up to make sure that was what he meant.

up·pi·ty (ŭp'ĭ-tē) - Characteristic of or resembling a snob

I've never been called uppity! I mean come on! Do I seem like the uppity type? Throwing spit balls and eating glue as a kid I never considered myself "uppity". I would always look at the kids who got everything they ever wanted as uppity. I'd point and laugh at the uppity people when something happened to them. I would feel damn good about myself. Then I'd go home and cry and play with safety scissors on my wrist until mom made Hamburger Helper for dinner.

Maybe I'm looking too much into it. He was homeless. I'm such a bastard. I thought it was some kind of homeless street slang. Can the pits of hell open any wider for me?

Me, uppity? HA!

And that was my Tuesday morning.
