VIP

Everyone likes to feel important. It could be the grand opening of a dog park but if someone hands me a badge or some kind of credential that says, "VIP," I'm immediately walking a little taller.

(I realize I'm not a VIP; I'm a hanger-on. It's still fun.)

The husband attended an event the other night and his name badge had "VIP" in huge letters. I was a little jealous. He took it off immediately.

I, on the other hand, have saved a very cheesy necklace we received years ago at a charity function. It's blue, it says "VIP" and it beams with blinking lights.

Sometimes I just wear it around the house.
