I know I am a "build people up" positive cheerleader but I didn't realize how much until I was out fishing the other night when we were shrimping. I didn't know the boat captain that well and I was just doing my usual thing. We weren't catching much but I was still having fun. So my friend Howard was fishing and whenever he came close to

You should have been like
"Well what do YOU do for a living, Captain Terry?"
"Um. Obviously, am a boat's captain."
"I see! Why don't you shut the fuck up and get back to captaining!"

That would have shown him how good a kindergarten teacher you could have been!

Actually, that's a nice story. It's cool that you are that way, and it's nice that the Captain noticed.

I should have fingerpainted his boat.

Ohh. Is that a euphemism for something? You kids always have new ones.

I really LOL-ed at this! :-)

I tell you this all the time, but I love that about you...your innate appreciation and pride, and your comfort in sharing it for evern the smallest accopmlishments or efforts (perfect example: a hole handle in a 1/2 knitted purse attempt). I think Cap't Terry was being bitchy, actually.

Also, I am like that with my students, even for the smallest accomplishment b/c no matter how I was trained in ballet, I know that positive reinforcement FOR ANYTHING keeps a student OF ANYTHING feeling supported, believed in, and empowered to try again. It's true.

No, he honestly wasn't being bitchy at all- he's a good guy. I think he's just used to being around his tight assed nasty girlfriend all the time. Ugh.

Is that "the girl" from the boat pics? ha. What was her name?

[zette]

No, this is the girl who's parents own one of the restaurants allan plays at- she's a SERIOUS rich bitch. OMG she makes me want to pop her one.
