After haircuts yesterday the tall person and little person and De went to the new park on Marjanishvili Street. The park has some play equipment and a sort of assault course for little people. The little person likes to go there for a ‘workout’ sometimes. De likes to go there for the slide and see-saw.
However, this is not the main reason I am writing this post. I am writing to inform you of a disturbing discovery. At the entrance to the park the tall person saw this sign.
Ok, it looks like a ‘no dogs allowed’ sign but look closely. Whose silhouette is this? It’s not a Chihuahua. It’s not a Daschshund. It’s not a Newfoundland. It is a silhouette of me! It is quite obvious from this sign that the municipal authority has decided to increase the privileges of all dogs except for me. Whilst other dogs are clearly permitted to run freely in the park and use the play equipment I am not allowed in and would have to wait outside with my nose pressed against the fence yearning to join in the fun.
Why me? What have I done to deserve to this?
I have asked the tall person to contact the municipal authorities and appeal against this unfair and discriminatory by-law.
P.S. I have called this post ‘Why me?’ for two reasons. Firstly, why me? Why have I been singled out for individual discrimination and secondly, ‘why me’ is how the Georgian expression ‘vieme’ is pronounced. You may remember that ‘vieme’ is a much used exclamation and can mean surprise, disppointment, curiosity, alarm, fear, pain, delight, excitement, disbelief, wonder. I am using it here in the context of disappointment and disbelief.
‘Vieme!’
That is not right! I hope the tall person can get in touch with someone who can repeal this. As long as you are well behaved you should be allowed to play.
It is discrimination Jodi – I think I will sneak in there and ‘water’ their plants 🙂
Oh, Bassa, I see these things everywhere. It’s the few who ruin it for the majority, yes? Never fear, big or little, we’ll put up “No Humans” signs when we take over the world, right?
Hahahahah, I love the idea of “No Humans” signs Lola!
Funny thing is the signs like that in the States look more like me than you. -Bongo
Now that is just not right…that sign needs to come down. Hugs and nose kisses
The sign is very high up. Not even the tall person can reach it 😦
