“Defeat My Maker… I Don’t Know About That”
December 28th, 2007 at 1:15 pm (Lesson Learned)
When I was in Nashville, I tried to sell some books. I know. Who’d a thunk it? But it’s true.
While trying to sell said books, I took a cool little 8 ½ x 11 sign with me titled Cinderella’s To Do List. On that list, it had a few things written and then those things crossed out with new ‘to dos’ written in. The final written-in ‘to do’ on the list was “Defeat my maker”.
As a marketing tool, I thought it was tremendously clever. I forgot I was in the south.
The people who saw that sign often sniffed snootily and walked off.
One woman actually said the “Defeat my maker? I don’t know about that” line.
Could God stop corrupting everything? Seriously.
