Toot

My mother-in-law's friend is a member of several "dull women" Facebook groups, which are, apparently, a thing. She shared an example, which was a story about taking her daughter to the doctor at 7am while wearing mismatched flipflops and embarrassing herself, told with deliberate irrelevant details.

It was a funny and charming niche of the world to learn about.

@alexhaist Pocketing this little bit of knowledge for my sister in law, who if not already part of one of these groups should be (I mean this in the best possible way).

@handmade_ghost I asked her how she ended up in that group--did she get nominated!? But she was cagey about it

@alexhaist @handmade_ghost I know they mean that to be cute but I can't bring myself to be labeled a "dull" woman.

Then again, I can see being part of a super secret, highly influential organization of women who fly under the radar by pretending to be dull and then regularly saving the world!

After coffee. And between doctor appointments. 😁

Oh, wait. That is already happening. Shhhh...

@sunlitrain @handmade_ghost hee, yes. It's sort of like the generational equivalent of me accepting the mantle of "cringe". I haven't yet joined a group for it, though.
