Have you heard of the crazy nastyass honey badger by Randall? Oh my gosh, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO!  Recently, on a fun night on the town (yes, we have fun nights on the town in rural ‘Merica) my friend introduced me to the honey badger and I may be the last person on earth to see it because it was a viral video hit back in 2011.  Anyways, the honey badger is the most fearless, bad-ass, African mammal, that doesn’t care what it is up against and just does what it wants anyways.  I love the part when Randall says, “but look the honey badger doesn’t care.  It’s getting stung like a thousand times, it doesn’t give a shit!  It’s just hungry.  It doesn’t care about being stung by bees.  Nothing can stop the honeybadger…” LMFAO!  Watch it.

So the next day, my friend sends out a text, “Hey, do either of you think your girls would like to do girl scouts- or Daisy’s?” My other very top notch friend responds, “Mine would love to but I’m wondering if I could squeeze it in.” Then she lists all the shit her four kids are already signed up for. Basically they have multiple places to be besides work and school every day of the week except Sunday, that’s on top of homework and life.  They exchange more texts about Girl Scout info, sign up and a funny little meme about not selling cookies in front of Wal-Mart, followed by a Hell-to-the-NO!  I think to myself, I’m not even going to bring it up to my kids.  I just simply respond, “We can’t handle the Girl Scout thing. Our plate it full.” Apparently, I was a little too authentic admitting that I can’t handle anymore, even though I am a stay at home mom, have a full time nanny and housekeeper (See blessed life) and I’m ok with that.

My friend, who moved here from the West Coast about 8 months ago, was impressed with my blunt honesty.  She awarded me the Honey Badger award.  An award I will wear proudly among my circle of friends.

Should You be a honey badger too?  What do you wish you didn’t care about?
