Hey!
February 25, 2010This is a word heard fairly regularly around our household, our funny way of expressing surprise at the itsy bitsy things that go wrong. Some examples:
This morning my husband dropped a small piece of his hard-boiled egg in his lap and immediately exclaimed, “HEY! That’s not what I was trying to do!”
One time I was holding a stack of papers and one slipped out of my grasp onto the ground. As it wafted to the floor I said, “HEY! Come back here!”
Whoever happens to be near us when this happens thinks this is the funniest thing ever…it never fails to elicit a good chuckle.
I miss you and your “hey’s”.
I saw a video on Ingrid’s blog (mypeacetree.blogspot.com). It was made by DancingMermaid. At the end of the video a quote showed up: At any given moment you have the power to say: this is not how the story is going to end. – Christine Mason Miller
These words made a huge impact on me, so I want to thank you for those very right words.
(And I love your blog by the way, will step by more often!)
you DO love a good HEY!
Hey.. just wanted to say it load…
HEY!
I use it often myself
i just read something a few days ago that remarked on how many of us tell inanimate objects to “stay!” when they are about to fall. love the bit about the egg, too!
and you say it in a staccatto kind of way, “hey” short, to the point and so very very bossy (in such a good way), you boss those inanimate objects around better than anyone I know… xo
