Concerning the Matter of Voice Inflection, Puppies




Should I stop talking to people as if they were puppies?

Is it inappropriate to up my octave range to 5 billion whatevers and trash my grammar and common sense for no particular reason when at work? When talking to coworkers, and really just about anybody anywhere at any place in time? I know how to speak. What happens to me? What comes over me?

I am not Dr. Doolittle. What can I do? How can I stop?

Maya the Bee

just a few things on my thousands-long list of reasons i love maya:

1.) she always hooked me up with free food at whatever restaurant she worked at. no matter what you need from maya, there's always an abundance from her, even if she broke a hell.
2.) she's the wittiest, funniest, most hilarious girl you will ever meet.
3.) she brought me flowers at work when i was depressed.
4.) she had people far and near write lovely letters to tell me how they loved me === as a birthday gift. it's hard to replicate kindnesses like this.
5.) she once woke me up in the middle of the night to give me a makeover...and then woke up karen to show her. karen was not excited.
6.) she's been through fire and back and is all the sweeter for it. but her sass just kicks your ass.
7.) she loves sasparilla and coffee.
8.) she used to call me at work to talk for an hour. it was just funny cause i had a 9-5 and she was a booking manager/party planner/hustler. she didn't understand why i couldn't just chill on the phone and discuss the subtle nuances of a boy saying, "i dunno." What did he MEAN?! She'd ask.
9. she still does the same as above even though she does have a 9-5 job.
10. she looks more and more like her mother every day.
