Meanies and Niceys.

May 3, 2012

For a long time there were no ‘goodies and baddies’ at our house, instead there were ‘meanies and niceys’. It always made me smile when I’d hear someone say “She is the meanie one… and he is the nicey.” Yesterday I encountered my own meanies and niceys and they all surprised me in their own [...]
