I met my parents and nieces, Ella (7) and Jess (5), for dinner at the local burger joint last night. Over my "Burger in the Rye" (a fabulous mixture of flame grilled beef, american cheeses, sauteed onions, a hint of mayo, lettuce and perfectly vine ripened tomato), Jess looks up at me and declares, "CeeCee, I'm the best reader in my class".
Nothing like a healthy ego on a five year old so I reply, "I'm sure you are", even if you do say so yourself is what I'm thinking but don't say. The kid is really smart and last weekend read me a 2nd grade level book about frogs but still......
As if reading my mind, Jess follows up by saying, "If it's the truth, then it's not bragging and it is ok to say so I'm just sayin', not braggin'."
I like this logic and think I will try it out.....
to my supervisor: I'm the best in the office at getting paid to help people so I want a raise....I'm just sayin'
to my fiance: Did you know I'm the best fiance you ever had? You're lucky to have me.....just sayin'
at JCrew: I have the perfect feet for these shoes....hey, I'm not braggin' - just sayin'
