Caring

CARING

I heard a phrase the other day that has me questioning my whole outlook.

As one person was talking about something, I don’t recall what was being said, the listener replied “I don’t give a rats a** about it”

That’s right; “I don’t give a rat’s a**”

Now is that supposed to mean, they “don’t care”? Since when does a rat’s a** mean you care? And if someone does care, will they give me said item?

I don’t believe that I WANT someone to care about what I am saying. I certainly have no need of a rat’s a**.

So I guess next time I am talking to someone and they look like they care, I will ask them if they are planning to give a rat’s a** if they are interested before I continue.

(btw, I guess it’s a good thing I can’t remember what was being said by that first person, b/c  I don’t have one of those to give anyway)
