Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt “Passive /Aggressive”

~ John W. Howell

Stream of Consciousness

 

Passive/aggressive is part of Stream of Conscious Saturday. Not necessarily behaviors of any of the principles it’s just that today’s prompt is passive/aggressive. There are bonus points for starting the post with either. (Cha-ching) If you would like to participate please visit Linda Hill’s blog and learn how to manage both passive and aggressive prompts.

Passive/Aggressive by John W. Howell © 2018

“Passive is my mode of dealing with challenges.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I was just getting ready for my support group meeting tonight.”

“What support group meeting?”

“Oh, I didn’t tell you. I have decided I need to talk out some things.”

“And my ears have been cut off I suppose.”

“Now come on. You know you get tired of hearing about all my little quirks.”

“No, I find your quirks as you call them, very endearing.”

“I can’t believe that.”

“Well, it’s true.”

“The fact that I can’t cross the kitchen floor.”

“Endearing.”

“Or can’t stand the tentative nature of living in a house that we don’t own.”

“Endearing.”

“Of wanting to have more babies.”

“Yes, endearing.”

“Of being afraid of aggressive insects.”

“Totally endearing.”

“Being allergic to flies.”

“The most endearing.”

“Afraid of being stepped on.”

“I share that fear and it is endearing.”

“I can’t weave a web.”

“I always help. Endearing.”

“Well, maybe I’m overreacting a bit. I think I need to put my feet down and get a grip.”

“That’s my love. Put all eight down and take a deep breath. I like it when your six eyes are shining. You look so aggressive.”

      1. It really was a classic movie, John. Remember Vincent Price’s head on the body of the fly while caught in the web? “Help me.” LOL! I don’t think I know that song…I’ll check out YOUTUBE.

  5. Spiders, ugh. Two spiders, scary. Throw in a fly, and the scene gets really messy. This is a story I did not expect, but you pulled it off masterfully. 😀

  11. This is Endearing. Spiders are my heroes. They catch other bugs, like mosquitoes. I do encourage them to do it outside though.

  13. I’m with JoAnna – spiders became my heroes when I stayed in an area of Africa infested with Tsetse flies… and played host for a couple of days to a maggot, just above my belly button! 😦 I even shared a shower with about 7 wolf spiders after that! 😛
    They DO look scary though – especially when they’re just sitting there ready to run at you at spidey speed, just when you think they’re not going to… 😐

  14. You’re incredible! Good Incredible! NOT, Bad Incredible! Okay, here’s my prompt for your next post: ‘SuperCalifragilisticExpialidocious’ – Not with Bailey, Lucy, and Twiggy! Don’t want them harmed by this giant word! ♥

  17. Tee-hee! That was fun, John.
    (My ex believed spiders had a collective intelligence and were conspiring against him; that if he killed one they would all get together to come and kill him. Someday that’s going into a book…) Hugs on the wing… or web! 🕷️ 🕸️
