Could I have a wee word?

I¡¯m sorry, but there is something I really need to get off my chest. I have just spent my lunch hour down town shopping, and even though I¡¯ve been engaged in my single favourite pastime, I¡¯ve come back to the office more than a little irritated. The reason? The endless use of the diminutive in every single store I went into. ¡°Do you have your wee card there?¡±¡­.¡±Would you like a wee bag?¡±¡­. ¡°Here¡¯s your wee receipt!¡±¡­..¡±That¡¯s a lovely wee top¡± ¨C and in my case that¡¯s blatantly not the case! Once is ok, twice is a bit annoying, but every single time is insanity!!

Then, came the final straw! ¡°Do you want your wee hanger with that love?¡± Love? Love? Being called love by some complete stranger, at least 20 years younger than me ¨C actually I was just about to call her a wee girl there and then I remembered my rant. So do we all say wee? Is it something in our genetic makeup? Maybe we could have a wee chat about that one later love.
