Beeisms

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.
