10 nada sayings

[Guest guest]

WTO, As I've been NC, some of my repressed memories are coming to the surface.

Here

are 10 of nada's favorite sayings about me that I hereby officially,

categorically REJECT:

1. 'Hold your *stomach* in.'

(in public, in front of people)

2. 'Are you STARVING?'

(at the dinner table, if I dared to eat)

3. 'That's enough.'

(whenever I spoke objectionably, which was basically whenever I spoke)

4. 'Nobody wants to see *that*.'

(Used to point out objectionable bits of my anatomy, such as blemishes or

burps.)

5. 'Do you think you're GOD?'

6. 'You're gonna be HOT in that sweater/shirt/dress!'

(this was a terror that i would sweat all over the place and look disgusting,

which would

reflect poorly on her); and, a variation after puberty, she would tell me

various body parts

were 'hanging out' of my clothing.

7. 'Hurry up, we're late!'

(accompanied by a harsh knock on the bathroom door, in a tone as panicked as the

armaggedon, pretty much every time i attempted to get dressed for a family

event)

8. 'You don't need THAT'.

(applied to either food at the dinner table or something i might want in the

store)

9. 'You know what they say, the ugly duckling, turns into the beautiful

swan...'

(to burst my bubble whenever i was feeling moderately attractive)

10. 'Oh, you're like me....'

(I was NOTHING like her).
