Or at least everyone seems to think =_= It's so depressing. To me, it's funny and just having fun. We were discussing sports, then segued into games we played as kids (and mind you it's apparently Pick On Megan Day) and that eventually led to pool games. Marco Polo. My sibs and I played this. I told the guy who scans with me that if you tried what he did (climbing out of the pool, which is CHEATING) with my sibs and I we would have killed him (unless he did it to Samantha, b/c incurring her wrath was just funny to us, though only our family can do it and actually live to do it again, kekeke).
I said it was more fun to just hide in the deep end -- Sammie and I esp. are regular fish (man, all the swimming lessons we took O_o Before we could walk, I swear. Do you remember that psycho high dive at that one pool in Cali, Sam? Makes other high dives look freakin' pussy) so we'd just hold our breath and go down. Scanning buddy and Boss said that's boring.
I started laughing and said yeah, until you grab Marco's leg and yank him under the water, and then it's all out warfare.
They said I was so violent =_= And not in that nice way, in that "I'm never playing with you ever" way even though they were laughing.
I dunno. My sibs and I always rough housed a lot. I guess it comes off as violent? I dunno. We always had fun. Always have fun.
Of course, nothing was more fun than hide and seek spread across the entire block. Or our own weird ass version of basebal/softball/something involving a bat and a ball. Or beating innocent toy trucks at the playground.
And then there was my brother's biting phase...
Still, for all that it's 90% amusing, it's still 10% depressing that on some level everyone thinks you're mindlessly violent and revel in it. But come on, I grew up in the military. I've got no fucking time for goddamn tea parties. Fucking spare me.
