Today's conversation at the pool:
Me: Is your bottled water hot?
Eve: Yea, it is.
Me: Oh, mine's not.
Eve: Danggg Deebo!!! You're getting worse!! *laughing
Now, those of you reading this blog and saying, "Who's Deebo?" Well, if you have seen the movie FRIDAY then you have seen the character Deebo. My friend, Eve, has started calling me Deebo because she says I can be a little dominating at times like the character in the movie. Now, I love my girl so when she calls me 'Deebo' I take no offense. In fact, I then proceed to play the part of puffing up my chest, snapping my fingers, rolling my neck, and acting all tough-- straight up, being a bit of a bully. So, it's our ongoing joke that she thinks I can be a little much at times. Anyways, today's pool event made me chuckle but more than that it made me think....
Well, this weekend it really became reality that I am Deebo when my beau told me, 'quit bossing me around all the time'. At first, I went straight in to Deebo mode. Seriously, how are you going to tell me, sweet little me, that I need to quit being bossy? So, I got mad and copped an attitude for a long time until we both forgot about it and I didn't even really think about it again until today when Deebo reappeared at the pool.
It's always been in my nature to be very dominating. I am very independent and I have worked extremely hard to get where I am -- let me tell you, it did not come by being a push over. It came from being opinionated, strong minded and yes, maybe at times, a little Deebo-ish. I never really cared about what anyone thought when they commented on my dominating ways but weirdishly enough it bothers me now. (I guess that means-- I like him, huh?) It's something I need to work on. Now, I'm not saying I'm going to be somebody I'm not but what I am saying is that I am going to make a conscious effort of when it is and isn't okay to let out my inner Deebo.
