Mallie Bee and I spend a lot of time together. She does not drive. Yet. She has been slow to get her license due to a busy schedule and her parents continued apathy. At the moment, she is not the least bit happy about this situation.
I took her to school and we were talking about making each other nuts. Sometimes, she said……I make myself nuts.
Explain away.
Well, I overthink everything. Somebody will say something to me and I’ll think……what did she mean by that? Is she mad at me? I wonder what I did to make her mad? But I hardly see her so how could I have made her mad? Then I’ll think……..maybe she’s not anything. Maybe I’m reading into things that aren’t there.
You have learned from the master.
When a sparkly, beautiful, smart girl says those things it sounds more like teenage angst then a neurosis.
All in due time my little pretty.
