honest moments II: lessons for amari

amari asked "what do you do when you don't like somebody."

i said "you forget they exist".

amari asked "but why? "

i said "because they aren't worth your time. people that you don't like will make you mad alot. and that takes away from you being happy and having fun with your friends and family."

amari said "so did you beat up the people you didn't like?"

i said "i used to. but i stopped -- because fighting isn't the answer. but i don't want you letting people pick on you either."

amari said "so if a boy hits me on my butt --"

i said "what! aww naw. you can't let ANYBODY hit you on your butt! and you aren't anybody's punching bag. if they bother you -- defend yourself."

amari said "i know! and if a boy hits me, i will kick him in the nuts!"

aww -- sweet innocence.
