Wrong Stereotype!!!

A couple days ago, as my boys ate homegrown yogurt with brown sugar and popcorn for dinner (ummm… it was just me and them, no other adults, and obviously I took the night off of cooking..), I handed Monica a piece of sourdough no-knead bread with homemade strawberry jam spread on top. Suddenly I thought, “oh dear, homemade bread, non-microwave popcorn, homemade jam, homemade yogurt! If somebody didn’t know any better they might think I was an anti-chemical, organic, crunchy-conservative kind of girl!” Which I’m not. (no offense to any of my crunchy-con friends out there – but it’s just not me.. at least, not yet…)\par

What shall I do?! I’d hate to be incorrectly stereotyped – I’m stereotypical enough in other ways. I took a deep breath and realized that my motivations for many of my homemade things are more economical than sociological/environmental, so I was OK, even if a casual observer might be fooled. Phew!\par

Well, better go make some granola.\par

Just kidding.\par

We still have lots left from the batch I made yesterday. :-)

  • lol! Yes, yes, let’s make sure we get the correct stereotypes here. :)

  • Lots of times the “make it yourself” is just plain cheaper! :-)

    Yes, and “cheap” is one of the stereotypes easily applied to me! I prefer “economical” because it doesn’t sound quite so grinchy. :-) In additition, SAHM (Stay At Home Mom), Homeschooler, and Christian Conservative all have stereotypes that are not that far off of the mark. :-)
