Some words just roll together. There is a reason the phrase for "Grumpy Old Man" is about 500 times more common than the phrase "Grumpy Old Woman". It relates to the fact there are significantly more of them.
But we exist. In droves. I am entering the Queendom of Grumpy Old Womanhood - I can feel it in my bones. I know by the ridiculous number of things that have the ability to annoy. Fur animals on adults' head for example. Whoever thought furry animals as a fashion head accessory were the new little black dress should be made to wear one constantly for a week as punishment. At least Daniel Boone took the bloody heads off.
School holiday access to technology has also meant total absorption in virtual families which, seems so much more fun than quality time with the real grumpy thing. Apparently, it's way more fun to go and tell members of your virtual family to have a shower or relax and then measure how happy everyone is.
So much tidier and infinitely more annoying (to me) than real life.
Luckily, I discovered how to turn off the WiFi and then blame it on those annoying earthquakes in Wellington. But it's not safe to open my old school letterbox either.
