She was a civil rights activist in the 60's, I heard this on NPR in my car the other day. Basically she insisted on being called Miss when she was in court, the white women were called miss and she didn't want to be called by her first name, she wanted to be called Miss Mary.
Anyways, I was thinking really hard about this the other day after hearing it because I knew a black lady and she used to call me Miss Creamy, I always felt kinda awkward but I had my kids call her Miss Tia, that was her name. I didn't know this was a black thing and finally understood this after hearing the story on NPR. Nobody else has ever called me Miss Creamy and this woman has been out of my life for 4 years.
My husband came home from work this morning, he was gone all week so he wasn't around to pick up the channel until now. I was doing something in the kitchen and he said, "Miss Creamy".
I don't think he listens to NPR, I know he listens to podcasts but I doubt civil rights is on his topics of interest list.
Anyway, did he channel her, am I mind controlling him still? It's not the first time he's picked up on my thoughts and repeated them. I never say anything to him about it but I'm aware of it and he's not so I'm guessing that I'm controlling him.
Anyone?
