I Can See Your Little Eye

I come from a family of straight shooters. People will tell you what’s wrong with you even if you didn’t ask. Let’s take the picture that’s associated with this post for example. I was on a cruise with my mom, Bible Study Brother, and his wife. We were dressed up for dinner at the Japanese steakhouse. When you’re cute, you take pictures . Or at least I do.

At the steakhouse, a photographer came to take our pictures individually and as a group. At the end of the meal, they returned with printed copies of our photos. I opened my folder with excitement. I was soooo cute! I was almost convinced to spend the outrageous amount of money for that picture. Almost….but not quite. I showed the picture to my mom and she said, “I can see your little eye.”

If you don’t know my immediate family, that might not be as hilarious to you as it was to me. Of the trio, we ALL have one eye that is noticeably smaller than the other. (I know I just lost half of ya’ll because you’re going back to Facebook or Instagram to figure out which eye is smaller…LOL!)

Here I was…thinking I was sooo cute, and it took someone close to me to bring me back in focus. For the record, I WAS cute! But she knew what to say to get me back in line. Money seems to just fly out of my hands sometimes. She had the words to calm my trigger finger.

Heed the warnings of those close to you. If you’re both on the same team, they don’t want to see you fail. If they work for the enemy, rebuke them and buy the picture! I didn’t buy the cruise picture but I rocked my selfies! #wepreach
