Micky Says… No one wants to be introduced to a tall blond.
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at 12:55PM My friend Molly told me about her three year old son, who came home from school, extremely upset, because one of his classmates had told him he would NOT come to his birthday party. "It isn’t really your birthday", he told him and walked away.
Seeing her son this upset, Molly felt like going to school, finding the kid and delevring a swift kick in the pants. But of course we don’t do that kind of thing, so instead she focused on easing the pain and trying to explain that sometimes people and yes,even children can be horribly mean.
Doesn’t this take all of us back to our childhood?
My god, how awful can children be? And how to deal with it?
In discussing the ordeal, Molly and I went back to our childhoods. Both of us growing up being the tallest in class. This never went over well with the other kids. "Giant!!! You are huge!!!! Hey, is it cold up there?"
Ohhh how I remember all the bullying.
Being an only child, I was always a bit overly enthusiastic. I was the first in line, and first to raise my hand in class. I was first in everything, if allowed. This didn't go over too well with the rest of the class. "Why do you always want to be so extravagant? Why do you think you can do this? Please act normal like us!!"
My favorite hobby didn't help much either; Dressings up like a princess when going to school. I clearly remember my first day of school, arriving wearing my mothers silk sexy underwear dress over my t-shirt and the obligatory crown on my head.
I believed this to be ultra cool, but soon found out it wasn’t.
Molly and I concluded that after all we'd been through, we actually became stronger and learned how to deal with bullies later in our life.
We also agreed that there's still plenty of people who just don't like being introduced to a tall blond.
But these days it’s all jealousy!!! :-)

I just read a great book about bullying that has helped a lot of people heal called The Wounded Spirit.
I don't like being introduced to tall blondes because it's intimidating.
I was the only child until my sister came along right before I started Kindergarten, so I can relate. Even in my mid-thirties I'm the strange kid that has a skewed idea of cool. The main difference now is that I surround myself with people who accept and appreciate me even when we don't agree. Oh, and until I grew a bit when I was 20, my wife was a tall blonde that I introduced myself to...
Live your life with your Hearth
I am reading the interview with Adam in LINDA, and oh god he is gorgious, so take care of yourself and him also... and make sure you feel good with everything that's around him.
Don't make the same misstake as his wife did. Being interested in what he does is the best way to support, even if you don't like it... hahahaha
Twitter, Ipod, Broadcasting, what the heck! It's his and yours as long as you be togheter.
Lots of love.
And believe me you are great, long and blond... so what? The 2 of you together looks great!
