I Mean, You Mean

"You are such a good mom. I mean...I couldn't do it."

"You mean. You wouldn't be there for your child (or even another loved one) when he needed you?

You wouldn't change his diaper,

feed him,

clean after him,

take a blow for him,

when he needed you?

You mean. He looks like a handful."

You mean!?!  

I mean. I know you are trying to compliment, intentionally,

the best way you know how....

but...unintentionally....you are coming off...gross?

Your very existence...and I know you don't mean it...is more of a handful than my son will ever be.

Ugh. [insert disapproving duckface here]

I know you don't mean it. It's just I don't think you know what you mean.

I shall go plunge my face into a pillow now.

It's a restorative pose really--depositing your emotions into giving fabric....

I mean. I know you are not trying to be mean.
