"Oh, bless your heart!"
I totally got that today.
The moving estimate lady was this super proper, southern woman, and she had to snoop all over my house to take inventory for the estimate. My house that had 2 kids home this morning. It was clean last night, and destroyed by about 8:30. As I picked up, Elizabeth basically followed in my wake and just dumped anything she could get her hands on.
So this poor woman was stepping over play food, blocks, doll house accessories, dvds, etc. Not to mention the food Elizabeth flung over her shoulder, all over the kitchen floor at lunch, as this woman is going over the moving company's policies, potential move schedule, etc. I apologized for the mess, and she said, in this sugary sweet voice, "Oh, bless your heart. This is just what I call a family friendly home."
Re: "Oh, bless your heart!"
Me too. It's so sweet, but then it's like, "Wait. What are you trying to say with that?"
In my humble, Southern girl opinion...this phrase is uttered before a total diss or untruth. And if they REALLY are being snarky, they say it like this..."Well bless your little ol' heart!".
I don't use it. Even as a southerner. I just say what I need to say or I keep my trap shut. That sugary-sweet facade is not for me.
True..sometimes there are some sweet little ladies out there that really mean it. I just don't know any personally. I always thought they were just on movies. Heehee!
Hi. I don't know who you are, rosenjoe, but your daughter is flimflammin' adorable and if her name is really Rita Mae, I think I may have my first kid crush. Are arranged marriages out of the question?

Well based on yours and other responses, apparently I live around a bunch of b*tches! Hmmmm....I always suspected.....haha
Hey, thanks. I'm pretty keen on her. Your kiddo is a cutie, too.
