Oct 2015

funny- this memory is almost 60 years old but clear as if it were yesterday.

a certain asshole who would always ask me "why aren't you smiling?"
or
"are you mad?"
or some variant.

others did too, but I remember this one cuz he was relentless...

of course I wasn't mad or unhappy, I just didn't paste a "smile-y" on my face!
arg- still makes me mad.
