Don’t Call Me Karen

One family has been living in a Karen-shaped bubble for far too long. Sure, Karen at the gas station can be a bit of a handful sometimes, but is she really the epitome of all Karens? I highly doubt it. It’s like thinking that all Bobs are plumbers or that all Tiffanys wear expensive jewelry – it’s just inaccurate. 

The term Karen has become so ubiquitous that it’s lost its original meaning and become a catch-all phrase for any entitled or annoying person. But let’s not forget that words have power, and using them recklessly can do more harm than good. Let’s treat each other respectfully and kindly, regardless of our names or job titles.
