I've observed and don't react well to:
1) People who have their kids' pics as their own profile pics. Ok, I get it if it's you AND your kid. That is cute and slightly less creepy. Bust just your kid? Does that mean that your kid has taken over your identity?
2) Women with pictures of their own huge pregnant belly as their profile pics. Firstly, I probably have a bigger gut than you and am not pregnant. BURN. Secondly, why Facebook? Are you parading your pregnancy? Is this one of those things that only a Mother or future Mother can understand?
I think the fact that I don't want to have kids right now is proven by my reaction to what I'm sure most people think are fabulous and wondrous instincts. (showing off your babies and your pregnant guts).
I've been thinking a lot about how horrible I am for reacting this way, and wondering what might be my Facebook profile picture equivalent. So I decided to take a walk down my own Facebook profile photo lane to try and imagine what normal people might think of my priorities based on those pics.
1) Smoking, visibly drunk, purple aviator glasses, blinged out necklace that says "PARTY". A normal person would look at this and assess that I have the priorities of a frat boy, and that I'm proud of it. AMERICANADIAN SAYS: TRUE
2) Holding a 30-year-old trophy. A normal person would look at this and believe that in the 70s I was a real winner. That I'm the kind of person who not only wins, but rubs it in your face and reminds you of it whenever possible. AMERICANADIAN SAYS: TRUE
3) Standing with Big Black Boykin. A normal person might think that I'm the type of girl who likes big, black celebrities. AMERICANDIAN SAYS: TRUE
