You Are A Fantastic Person. You're Sweet And Intelligent, And Certainly No One's Fool. There's No One

You are a fantastic person. You're sweet and intelligent, and certainly no one's fool. There's no one quite like you around, which is a shame, because everything would be that much better with more people like you.

I have no idea who this is, but you are an incredibly sweet person! Thank you for your kind words, from the bottom of my heart. I only hope that someone gives you a similar sweet note, anonymous or otherwise. Praise is given so sparingly when it should be heaped.

My son, who is 4, and I were walking along the street today and saw a man with his left leg amputated beneath the knee. My son spun around and looked at him, then said to me, “That man lost his leg! What happened?”

I said I didn’t know exactly, but sometimes people lost arms or legs through accidents or didn’t have them for other reasons.

My son instantly said, “Gobber (from How to Train Your Dragon) lost his arm AND his leg and now he has to use tools in their places!”

I kind of collected my jaw and said, “That’s right, and that man is just like Gobber. There’s a special word we use for those kinds of tools. It’s ‘prosthetics’.”

"Prosthetics," said my son, with satisfaction, and on we went without any further discussion about it.

But then we got on the bus, and there was a young black woman with her hair pulled back in a big floofy afro ponytail, and my son, who has seen the trailers for the new Annie movie, said, in delight, “She has hair like Annie’s!”

Representation matters.

You are a wonderful person to RP and hang out with. You are cheerful, optimistic, funny, and just a pleasure to everyone around you. With that, I'm glad to have met your acquaintance :D

I am...so not worthy of all this praise. It makes me feel so good, though. I’m glad that I make people happy. I’m glad I help make things fun. That’s what I always set out to do in RP. After all, if we’re not having fun, what’s the point? Thank you, anon. I wish I knew who you were, but *hugs* anyway :).
