Today’s prompt inspires no hilarity from me today, Stuph Mafia™. Sorry. I hope to be funny later, though. So read this, maybe? Hahahaha. I still hate that song.
When was the last time someone told you they were proud of you?
The last time someone told me they were proud of me was back in October, when I’d come back from my hiatus and admitted that I was kind of a douchebag towards my wife. My buddy Elyse told me she was proud that I recognized my shortcomings and the fact that I was attempting to remedy them.
I, still, am not proud of the way I behaved or that it took so long for me to recognize it, but that’s neither here nor there, nor is it important ultimately. That was the last time it happened, and that unfortunately is all I have to say about that.

Shameless plug: Please head over to Alice At Wonderland today so you can experience the adventure I had in Wonderland. I crave your validation, Stuph Mafia™, so please don’t let me down. Just kidding. I don’t crave it. I need it. Give it to me. NOW!! K, bye.

I am proud of you too – a lot of men (and women) don’t get it even when beat over the head with a hammer. Goodness knows my marriage has had its ups and downs.
BTW: Did people decide to go and get lives today, or what?
I have no idea. What do you mean?
No comments yet. There should be SCADS of them. I might not be as famous as I thought. Hmm.
Well, there’s likes. It’s a story and stories don’t always elicit comments.
Could be. I haven’t had a story before. I might also have some weird blogging issues. NAH.
Ha!
Turns out there were some comments that needed approval . . . dur-rup.
Haha. Yeah. I can’t do that.
And yet, how often do we say we’re proud of someone?
Look at peoples reactions to you. The unspoken message is probably there.
I honestly don’t say it often, but pride isn’t something I feel often.
It’s hard to look at one’s imperfections and try to fix them, TwinDaddy. I’m still proud of you.
And I’m still glad I have so few imperfections to work on.
Well thank you. I still don’t know why you’re proud, but thank you.
I know I have faults. Currently, I know about a lot more faults than I did 6 months ago and I’m still addressing them. That’s good, I guess. I just hate that it took so long to recognize.
Aren’t you proud when one of your kids Figures out a problem and works to solve it even when it’s hard? Especially when it’s hard? That’s what you’re doing. And it’s not just our kids that can make us proud. Our friends can too. Adults can too.
Haha. My kids avoid work right now.
I’m proud to know you, buddy! You’ve changed my life…
I hope you’re kidding.
Big clap for admitting your faults. I read part 1 of your story and thought it was funny, but I’ll wait for part 2 before commenting.
Ok!! Thanks!
Let’s count the ways we are proud of you: Dad of several children and good at it. A hubby that says something in itself. Several blogs that you not only maintain but have varied material on daily. Before your head swells so big you can’t get it through the door I will stop here….
Wow, thanks. I’m just a normal guy…
To be a normal guy? I guess…

Funny how you sometimes have to swallow your pride for others to be proud of you. It takes a big person to recognize their faults.
Yeah, but it takes a very small person to ignore them for so long.
I think we’re all guilty of that. We see what we want to see, and don’t want to see anything we don’t like.
I surely didn’t.
Neither did I.
Elyse knows her stuph, she’s very wise as you already know since she was able to recognize your greatness when you were down and out. You should be proud of yourself for caring enough to realize you needed a little tweaking…we all do now and then Twin, but not everyone acts on it. Sending a big virtual pat on the back…you earned it!
I guess…thanks.
Don’t make me come over there…..
Look, I’m glad that I realized what I was doing, but it was too late. I will never be proud of it.
Noooooo..late would be still walking around not realizing it. I can introduce you to a few of those people. You can’t miss them they’re miserable.
It’s an accomplishment, therefore it’s reason to be proud. It might not be at the top of the proud meter of life, but it’s still on the radar.
Ps. I saw cherry juice at the store today and thought of your wife’s restless leg syndrome. If we lived closer I could have dropped it off for her : )
The only things I’m truly proud of are my children. That’s it.
You should be proud of being able to express your feelings. Not a lot of people are able to do that.
I don’t necessarily like doing it.
It’s cathartic.
Perhaps.
You okay? I was thinking about you a lot today.
I’m caught in a hurricane, but right now all of my boys are here and I’m not really all that stressed right now.
Wow….that is scary. Hope you all are okay.
You realize, of course, that I don’t mean an actual hurricane, right?
Yes, I do. You guys okay? Email me if you want.
We’re fine.
K…I’m here if you need to chat. Any time.
Thanks.
I have big ears….not like Dumbo….but they listen well.
Ha!

I’m proud of you too. It takes a real man to admit when he’s wrong.
Everybody should be able to admit when they’re wrong. I don’t understand why it’s so hard. Why couldn’t I do it?
You did. It doesn’t matter when. You did it. Some people are too full of their own pride to admit it. It doesn’t make sense but it’s true.
