I think when someone tells you that you look tired--what they really mean is that you look like crap.
Am I right?

300 Seconds
Anyway, Lily, inadvertently, helped me with my title. Yesterday she, Canyon, and Alice were playing outside close to bedtime and I gave them the five minute warning. Immediately Lily began bargaining:
"Come on, ten more minutes!"
Me, "Five."
Lily, "Seven."
Me, "Five."
Lily, "Six."
Me, "Zero."
Lily, "Fine, five more minutes." She left with a huff and as she SLAMMED the door, she commented under her breath, very loudly, "I can't believe I only have 300 seconds to play outside!"
So that's it, all I need for this blog is 300 seconds a week (maybe more, maybe less).

yeah, I think you're right, I get that alot.
You are correct. Tired is never a compliment. "Congratulations, you looks soooo tired" That does not work.
I love it when people ask me if I'm okay with a concerned look on their faces. That's when I wonder what I really look like, and I find a mirror. I think what they mean is that I look tired. Or that maybe I should start wearing makeup or doing my hair finally?
I don't know. I never get that. I just get, "You look like crap." Now what's that supposed to mean?
That's like when people say, "Why are you acting so mad?" You've got two options: Deny that you are angry, though your aggressive defense usually makes you sound desperate and, well, mad. The second thing to do is to try and act like you are happy, but it sounds immediately fake and contrived, therefore confirming their assertion.
