The phone rings. It says Liberty Middle School, my sister's school.
Now I am confused....
Is she hurt?
Is she in trouble?
Did they catch her smuggling in poodles from the black market?
Did she pretend she was on Pretty Little Liars and flirt with her teacher?
and the worst fear:
**Did she get bit by a rabis-infested, human hunting rabbit and begin biting all of her schoolmates, taking all prisoner?
Jordan's happy voice rings over the phone, "Em, can you bring me shorts and a shirt?"
Me: "Why? Did you get dress-coded?!"
Jordan: (said in a quiet, sad voice) "No, just please. And fast."
Have you ever seen an elephant and a chocolate lab galloping in the Mid-West?
I know you all have and I can guarentee you were all 62% confused and 28% enthralled.
This, my friends, was like seeing an elephant and a chocolate lab galloping in the Mid-West. I was so confused, but man oh man, I was so enthralled as to why.
I drive in a very cautious, law-abiding and police-friendly manner (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah) and go into the office to see my sweet little sister looking perfectly normal, now I am really confused...
I ask her why she is changing and she replies: "Nothing is wrong Em! It's cool!" Her voice sounded strong and confident, but I see right through her. I heard the slight crack in her voice. I know her too well. There is something wrong... She is putting up a strong suit for the other kids in the office.
As we walk out of the office I force her into telling me why and here is where my heart dropped.
"The other kids told me I looked ugly in my dress. They were making fun of me and said I looked stupid. I couldn't take it."
and then all i saw was red..... (now I know how Dr. Banner feels when he is trying to not turn into the Hulk)
I am fiercely protective of my siblings. My family always tells me I am such a "Momma Bear" because I let no one mess with them, and if someone is daring enough to cross the line I will be daring enough to through them back to where they came from. I am quite proud of it, actually. My moniker is going to come in handy when I have children of my own, that's for sure...
Why are kids so mean nowadays? Goodness gracious! What happened to the Golden Rule?!
YOU ARE MEANING TO TELL ME THAT SHE IS UGLY?!?!?!?!?!? woooooo-ee buddy boy, you better check your facts.
So next time you are tempted to pick on someone based on their looks, remember the wise words of Dieter F. Utchdorf: "STOP IT."
Please and thank you., unless you want this Momma Bear to unleash her madness on you.
**One thing I was happy about was the fact that she was clear of all bunny bite marks. PHEW! She is rabis free!

Nothing prettier than a beautiful girl in a dress. And you are gorgeous Jordan. Hold your head high. Listen to your sweet big sister Emily, I am positive she will NEVER steer you wrong.
ReplyDeleteJust remember...If you can survive middle school you will have the skills to survive life (middle school is brutal)
Some good advice I got once... Remember this wrong & how you felt & never treat another that way <3
Oh goodness gracious, she is beautiful and middle school is weird. Also, I love the dress! Crazy kids. Emily, let's tackle the entire middle school together and...gently...knock some sense into them. But until I can make my way on over to Cali to carry out such act, let your sister know that you are not the only one standing here and admiring both her beauty and her sense of fashion. We all are! Never have I met this girl, and I already love her. Fact.
ReplyDeleteShe is a young and beautiful lady. I don't see why they would pick on her. Maybe they were just being haters. I bet if the tables were turned they would feel bad, and apologize to her. She is a daughter of our heavenly father, nd she deserves to be treated as such.
ReplyDeleteEmily your sister is absolutely lovely! If anything the other kids must have been jealous... For which we can forgive :) What I say is that no matter what other people might think or say be confident in who you are and the things you like and the things that are important to you because you are the only one you have to live with for the rest of your life so be the you that you want to be not the one anyone else tells you to be (unless they happen to be the same in which case carry on with the support of their wise second opinion) but yeah be the beautiful you because anything else is artificial and never as good as the real thing :)
