if they like you...

As a child she stayed away from humor. It had a way of backfiring on her and she knew too well the brunt of being laughed at for her buck teeth. Her days were marked by books and bike rides. She knew how to do shy.

Today she finds a comfort zone in playfulness. No wicked or mean spirited humor for her. When she grows up, she just might be a very good comedian. Just don't forget to ask her about the NAKED jr. cheese burger deluxe!

Those around her find it easy to laugh. Most days she doesn't even notice the chipping away her good sportsmanship. A smile is the makings of a good day. A whole lot of smiles a grand day....

Then there are the days when she goes home a mess of tears. Her resistance is gone. She is sure that there is a target on her back. She doesn't want the label of being touchy. She knows the old saying that 'if they tease you, they like you.' Her heart says that 'if they like you, they will be kind' ...

Her core is deep thoughts and sensitivity. There is so much she can take. Frayed nerves wasn't going to cut it anymore. So she decided to exercise her quiet and gentle side.

She stayed away from anything that would be a battle. Her conversation was at the surface and one on one. If anyone noticed she passed it off as sleeping, daydreaming, lost in thought, or simplying clearing her space. This is her way of being kind...
