Then I thought, boy, isn't that just typical? You wait and wait and wait for something, and then when it happens, you feel sad.

My granny Torrelli says when you are angry with someone, so angry you are thinking hateful things, so angry maybe you want to punch them, then you should think of the good things about them, and the nice things they've said, and why you liked them in the first place.

Why do people not listen when you say no? Why do they think you are too stupid or too young to understand? Why do they think you are too shy to reply? Why do they keep badgering you until you will say yes?

It wasn't that I was stupid ... It was just that there didn't seem to be a lot to say that someone wasn't already saying.
