Live and Learn. Forgive and Forget.

You are not ‘lesser’ or embarrassing because you don’t speak

You don’t have to speak if it makes you uncomfortable

You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are

Don’t allow people to try to push you into verbal communication

You are just as capable of love and showing kindness without speaking

Me: *looks up from my coloring book* It's nice to meet you!

Daddy: Those aren't very good manners, stand up and say hello properly.

Me: *bottom lip curls down into a pout and looks back at my crayons* Yes si-

Daddy's friend: Aw now, it's okay. She's obviously very busy. Can I see what you're working on?

Me: *all smiles again* Yes! It's ponies!*holds up my picture*

Daddy: *laughs and shakes his head* Come on man, you're gonna have to build up an immunity to pouty face if you want to be a daddy.

Daddy's friend: Dude. There's literally no way. That shit's kryptonite.

Me: *tugs on daddy's friend's pant leg* Excuse me!

Daddy's friend: *crouches down* What's up buttercup?

Me: You said a bad word. You have to sit on the pink stool over there until Daddy says you can play again.

Daddy's friend: *facepalm*
