What came first, the chicken or the egg? That’s an age old
question that has never to my knowledge been answered.
So, here’s another question, can you predict, curse or cause
something to happen because you unconsciously make it happen?
Like if you put on a T-shirt that says Grumpy on the front
can you expect to be in a good mood and that nothing bad or irritating will
happen. I pose this question to my brother who showed up at dinner on Sunday
with a grumpy mood and the word Grumpy printed across his shirt.
His grumpy mood was the result of his battle with bad city
traffic, something that would irritate most anyone. But was the bad traffic his
fate, put there to challenge his mood because he’d openly declared his mood to
be grumpy when he left the house?
His bad temper didn’t last long because once he was in the
door the other six dwarfs surrounded him and changed his mood immediately. Who
wouldn’t be cheered up by the smiling faces, the spontaneous hugs and kisses offered
by my six grandchildren?
At any rate, there was a good time had by all, the Grumpy
slogan’s effect was time limited, if you believe in that kind of Karma thing.
It does make me careful as to what kind of words I might choose to wear.
I found this T-shirt, and thought it would have been a perfect pairing with my brother's shirt, but it didn't come with the female version...."other times I let HIM sleep".. Just joking of course.
Happy anniversary guys. Love you both.

The "Grumpy" t-shirt was less an indicator of my emotional state but more of an homage to "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs." At the time of buying said t-shirt at a Disney store outlet it was the only one I could find in 2XL.
I suppose, had they had my size, I'd have purchased the "Happy," "Sleepy" and "Dopey" shirts as well, as they are the other dwarfs I associate with at any given time.
But I will say, wearing the shirt has made people treat me differently. When a large guy is wearing a shirt that says "Grumpy" on it, people will often leave you alone.
I can see why people would approach with caution, said T-shirt had no direct link to Disney's Grumpy, no picture of a dwarf. Myself,I'd like one that said Sleepy or Dopey, they more suit my moods.
