***Sometimes it’s good to set the bar low and have not so great expectations (and when things turn out better than expected you’ll be pleasantly surprised).  Junior definitely has some low expectations for me I think.  Today’s Friday Email is all about “Not So Great Expectations.” Have a great weekend!***

In life we all have great expectations but sometimes they fall short.  My expectations of other drivers is not so great but sometimes it amazes me how I still am disappointed.  Putting your blinker on when 2 lanes merge to 1 annoys me.  Like we know there is only one way to go.  Putting your blinker on will make me less likely to let you in not more.  It’s kind of obnoxious.  What do I think you’re going to go off the road into a tree?  Speaking of trees, people who drive with their arm out the window (when I’m in a rush especially) annoys me.  When I was a kid my parents told me never to stick your arm out the window because another car could hit you and take it off.  Junior was talking about kids.  I said I like them.  I have not so great expectations for most adults but kids I do.  Middle School aged kids like me.  Junior says I have their (not so great expected) maturity level.  Junior asked me my name as he’s looking me up in the database.  I said dummy not having great expectations as what he thinks of me.  Junior complained his new glasses have “too many features.”  I guess you had the expectation that your glasses wouldn’t have as many features as a car.  Damian made me drop my keys into this little lake at the park because he was trying to pull me to have the great expectation to say hi to a new friend (aka any human or animal that approaches us in his mind).  I had to find them in all that water while holding the leash before he runs off to the nearest person he can find to play with them.  Moise asked me to read some numbers to him.  Sure no problem.  22, 27, 32,…Moise stopped me “Hey hey hey.” What’s the problem Moise?  Did I read them too fast?  What was your not so great expectation of me to say it like a normal person?  Moise said now I know why you get along with this person.  You both know everything.  Was your not so great expectation of me to know very little?  I arrived on Saturday at Moise’s and right away Abby asks where is the doggie.  I guess she had greater expectations than seeing just me.  Joshua wanted me to push him faster on the swing he tells me.  What do you want me to push you as fast as I drive?  This swing has a speed limit.  I guess Joshua had the great expectation of no speed limit on that swing.  Abby got herself “stuck” in the swing (she refused to get out of it) so Moise had to pry her (after several failed attempts and give her the great expectation that she can get ice cream after this – bribery works sometimes).  I’ve never seen a kid get herself stuck in a swing like that on purpose where you literally can’t get her out.  You’ll have to teach me that trick sometime Abby.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet for some of you I have great expectations and for others I have no expectations on doing your timesheet.  Please fulfill my great expectations and do your timesheet on time today and remember if you ever want to learn how to get yourself stuck in a swing to where they are basically 1 step away from calling 911 to get them out then call Abby.

Have a great weekend!
