I'm glad you stood up for yourself and all the "born again crickets!" Good for you! I enjoyed this! I think a lot of people are afraid to stand up for what they believe in, and it's a shame.aliciamarie911https://www.blogger.com/profile/15392189556918403197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-36958023959023603652012-03-23T11:12:48.115-04:002012-03-23T11:12:48.115-04:00Kids need to be taught...or just allowed...to stan...Kids need to be taught...or just allowed...to stand up for themselves.

I still got along with everyone in school, even though I was considered on the strange side because I was "too honest"--LOL! You don't have to worry about fitting in if they already know you have no desire to and kindly follow your own drummer, I guess. <br /><br />I think it is so cool that you are going to go talk to kids together!! That is just so awesome. You two are such great examples for kids to be free and loving spirits. I hope you tell us all about it. :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-58114917678832947222012-03-21T19:23:56.219-04:002012-03-21T19:23:56.219-04:00haha glad you gave him a piece of your mind.
