  Sto-rini - 11 Today, something happened.   Everyone (kids and their mothers) was in a room just chit chatting. The kids were playing a game and suddenly one of them gets hurt. She says, “You hurt my feelings, my feelings are hurt” and rushes off.   I just sat there in a surprise actually. I was laughing because it felt funny and I was also happy she said that it hurt her. But ultimately it came off funny for me. It could’ve ended there but one of the mothers says, “I hate when kids sulk”. I didn’t like it. That hurt MY feelings. But I didn’t say so. Then another mother adds “whats so bad about (that topic that hurt the girl)?” I felt the need to interfere.

I love how you laugh The way you talk The way you make everyone smile The way you squint your eyes   The way you throw my troubles away The way you make me feel safe   You are someone’s enemy But forever my hero I protect you and you protect me And together we fly home   I love the way you make me feel loved The way you speak when you are happy The way you squeal when excited The way you beat those tears in your eyes   I love how you care for others Even though you pretend not to care at all The way you want to help the people Though you joke about being a dictator   I love your expressions I love your emotions When you battle within I wish I could say let it be   I love how you whisper the joke to me So I would be the one to crack it And you don’t mind about the credit   I love how you dance when alone When you think you are free of stares But I would be there And you wouldn’t care And I would be blown away   I love the way you lead others You say they’re just small creatures But deep
