A couple of days ago Jensyn came through the door after school and erupted into tears.
crockodile tears.
She told me a girl stole her best friend away.
Now she would have no one to sit by at lunch.
and then she wailed:
"MY LIFE IS CHAAANGING!!!"
{this is where I bit my knuckles trying not to laugh. or cry.}
I wrapped my arms around her and told her
I had a secret about friends:
{be nice}
If you are always nice- you will always have friends.
I reassured her that things would be different tomorrow.
The next day she bounced through the door.
All smiles.
I asked her if she had a better day and who did she sit by at lunch?
(big grin)
"My best friend.
You were right, mom."
(all I could think was this is just. the. beginning.
girl drama.)

BTW
I have shingles on my neck.

GREAT ADVICE.
glad she's happy again.
GIRLS ARE SCARY!!!! :)
AHHH!, the drama. Glad it, for the most part, goes as quickly as it comes. Good advice! Glad she's all smiles again!
"be nice" definitely worked for you--one of the nicest people i know (right from the beginning :) good advice to pass along.
gotta love the girl drama!
Couldn't agree more. I think we have the "nice" talk every day. AND...I loved that it was resolved as quickly as it occurred! AND...WHAT THE SHINGLES!! I am soooo sorry. That sounds so painful. Hope you are feeling better...itchin' less.
