i'm like that salty old nurse... except for the scrubs and out-of-style hair cut (i'm just guessing). and i'm not a nurse or female... so probably not at all like her except for the uppity and mean part. plus, i always share my snacky treats. like today, i have chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate covered almonds.
i share so i can be mean and uppity and get away with it. frankly, it's a small price to pay.
her uppitiness and meanness towards me is gone. this is associated either with a genuine politeness toward me (asking how i'm doing, making pleasant small talk), or with my recent increase in rank/status.
she is still uppity and mean to others though.
also, in my world, the sharing of snacky-treats is one of the greatest gifts of all. it moves a relationship to an entirely new level.
i'll keep in mind that d's sharing is inspired by ulterior motives, though.
when we were young, a woman esteemed as wise told us that men were the hunters, and women were the bunnies. some believed her, and hopped away to roll over at the feet of the first hunters they heard tromping by. the rest of us? we can talk here.
