Some days are like that.....even in Australia

4th Grade is a hard one

Kids are getting emotional, they gossip, they pick on kids

To make themselves feel better, and sadly....

They start to smell like big kids NOT little kids

I remember my 4th grade year...

What would I tell my 10 year old self?

The same thing I have had to tell my 10 year old daughter these past couple of weeks

It will get better

You are going to follow your dreams one day

Live in Paris, become a Killer Whale Trainer,

 And a Fashion Designer

AND

All of those girls well....

All they're gonna be is mean

Inside what did I want her to tell them?

To Suck It!

Okay to be honest, I did tell her to tell them to Suck it

Because, I listened to my girl

MY girl, my blue-eyed girl with the heart of gold

I listened to her voice crack trying not to cry

AND

Her blue-eyes welling up with tears

Telling me how she felt awful because their words hurt like knives in her heart

She said, "Mom, I don't want to hurt their feelings just because they hurt mine."

Well that is an amazing girl, don't you think? 

I love her heart,

Her blue-eyes,

Her tallness,

Her braces,

Her glasses (which are Prada by the way, Fashionista),

Her couture sense of style,

 Her giggle,

Her dance moves,

Her ability to crack a joke with the drop of a hat,

And I love that she is the slowest person in PE

 BUT she is the smartest girl in her class

AND

Always has been

So there.....

MEAN GIRLS

SUCK IT

Because ALL you are EVER going to be is mean
This Blue-Eyed Angel Girl
She is going to be EVERYTHING
AND
MORE

P.S. Also, Mean Girls...

Please tell your Mom's I would like to meet them behind the dumpster after school.....

OH YES, I just said that!
