Let’s talk about the danger of an assumption.  We’ve all heard the saying “When you ASSUME, you make and ASS out of U and ME.”  Many times that’s not true.  In face, the person making the assumption is most likely the only person looking like an ass at the end of the day.

To get the most accurate definition, I went to webster.com and typed in assume.

as·sume – verb (used with object), -sumed, -sum·ing.
1. to take for granted or without proof; suppose; postulate; posit: to assume that everyone wants peace.

Well there we have it…..right on the head…..an assumption is the lack of proof, facts, or anything substantial. 

You see, I heard an assumption recently that blew me away.  Now at the time I didn’t say anything, but mentally I filed the statement away with the proverbial “a-haaaaaaaaa” knowing that I would address it at a later date and time.  This morning the assumption was presented to me via a different source and it was apparent to me that there are so many people in life who willingly choose to operate in the ignorance of assumptions.

Here is an example…..let’s pretend that I called Melette this weekend and told her that I had a new nephew in the family.  Melette could then ASSUME that the addition to the family was on my side and call my sister with congratulations.  The truth could be that one of my in-laws had welcomed a new baby. 

Now that’s an innocent enough assumption, but sooooooo many of them aren’t.  The one on my mind right now is a hugely inaccurate and harmful assumption and honestly (tween me and y’all), the more I think about it, the easier it would be for me to get pissed about the situation.  How dare someone assume something about a household situation AND THEN proceed to mention it in mixed company.  If that’s not talking out of turn then I don’t know what is……mumbling……….worthless heffa.

I tell ya….if folks knew half of what I knew……they’d be shocked as hell.

• It’s opening day and everybody around this joint has baseball fever.  I just don’t get it.
• It rained on me this morning……talk about poofy hair. LOL
• My grandmother always says not to talk to someone about money unless you’re planning on giving them some. (LOVE THAT SENTIMENT).
• If I was of the mind to tell the world wide web ALL my business, y’all would hear a helluva story about our new mattress.
• The hardest part about being a newlywed is always wanting to spend time together.  I dislike getting up in the mornings and going to work because I’d rather stay in bed with my husband and just enjoy each other’s company.  One day though…..one day I’ll be able to get up whenever I want to or just lay there under the covers with him if I choose. 
• Wrestlemania was AWESOME last night.  Let me just say that I’d never leave my husband……but that damn Shawn Michaels would at least make me cock my head to the side and think about it. LOL
• I’m halfway ashamed to admit it but there is a female blogger that I’ve never met and don’t care for.  Seriously.  But I also believe that I have sufficient reasons not to and enough motivation to hit her in the head with a metal bat if ever given the opportunity.  Brazen brawd.  hmph
