I'm Full Of Surprises

(copyright-free images from Dover).

I am sitting in a planning meeting for the divisional Christmas party. We are thinking up activities, since eating and talking aren’t enough.

Me: I can teach a session on how to make origami Christmas ornaments.

Family Case Management Supervisor: Wait….you do origami?

Me: Uh, yeah. Simple stuff. I could do a Santa or a penguin or something.

FMCS: You do origami?

Me: I knit, too.

FMCS (begins flapping her hands wildly and hyper-ventilating): This is really freaking me out!

What? Organized can't also be creative? Can you teach US the penguin?

Lol! What, people can't be more than one dimensional? I'm with Sam, I'd love to do a penguin!

I love freaking people out with the knowledge that I knit. And spin. It's fun to mess with their little, tiny minds.

congrats Shay, you have just proved that you are more then a pretty face. no wonder she can't handle it. he he
people often look at me weird when they find out I make lace ~ I tat. then you have to explain what it is that you do. it is rather interesting to see their expressions when they find out there is more to you then they thought.
I too would love to see you make a penguin, that is one origami animal I don't think I have seen.

Ladytats is correct, I too tat. I get "what is that?!?" a lot. And I cross stitch, bead and design costumes at night. My day time persona is Accounting.

Learned it from YouTube. Dead easy and very cute. It even stands up by itself.
