But honey, doesn't green bean casserole have dried onions on top?
And I'm sorry about the rough time. =( Sometimes people tease folks that they think get too flustered over things (hence making it "fun" to watch someone get upset) or those that they think will just take it, because what's the harm in that?
People that take a little ribbing, but can somehow draw that line, escape teasing.
I just recently learned the tone of voice that says "I'm not upset, but I'm not having any more of this." The few times I've been able to use it have been wonderful though.
If I were in your shoes, I'd talk to people individually and tell them that your feelings were hurt and that you'd like it if they didn't tease you about that anymore. Of course, someone might suggest that you're being too sensitive or taking it too seriously (at least, that's beena common reaction when I've confronted people about excessive teasing). But if there's anything I've learned from you, it's that your feelings are valid. Regardless of how it was intended to be taken, those comments made you feel a certain way, and people shouldn't just dismiss those hurt feelings.
Anyways.
Just my long ramblings thoughts. Even if I'm totally off-base and completely wrong, at least it might help to know that someone else sympathizes.
