It's excruciatingly annoying to be mistaken for a nine-year-old all the time.<BR/><BR/>Buck up. You'll be the same age as them in a few years. Plus, it's good to observe older people, and figure out what sort of things they do that you shouldn't when you're that age.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782614717076996356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27436862.post-90352539260089440662008-01-07T23:51:00.000-05:002008-01-07T23:51:00.000-05:00In other news, my point, Margaret, is that you fit...In other news, my point, Margaret, is that you fit almost all of the definitions of the words I provided. There's no need for you to limit yourself to words like child, baby, etc, which may feel negative or at least annoying. You are the youngest of your family, true, but you should just do what I do and pay attention to the positive aspects of that and ignore the negative aspects. If it seems like there are no positive aspects then ignore it all together. Be a person or a human or an individual instead of a child. Or be a sister instead of a daughter, or be Pokey or Magsplat. Whichever fits your mood and your need and whichever feels most comfortable for that time of day. If you look at yourself and find that you are too young for something then do something else and try again later, maybe you'll be older. When all else fails just read a book, because books are awesome. (And when someone annoys you, write a story about them dying. Why not?)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I added "adolescent" to remind you of the fact that most people go through what you're going through now, which I remind you of just in case you were starting to not be annoyed with me.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425529127597760502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27436862.post-24666154188501295512008-01-07T23:12:00.000-05:002008-01-07T23:12:00.000-05:00Definition \Def`i*ni"tion\, n.
